Recent Trends in the Colposcopy Technology For Different Medical Application
Many new technologies have been introduced to enhance the diagnosis precision of colposcopy, objectively guide the biopsy site and assess the dysplastic condition of the epithelium. These include fluorescence spectroscopy, electrical impedance spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and/or variations thereof. Other technologies such as optical coherence tomography and polarimetric imaging have also been used to better define lesions. Not only have the adjunct use of technology, but also compact user-friendly tools been developed that have improved colposcopy distribution in remote areas. All about colposcopy Colposcopy is a medical imaging technique for the examination of the illuminated, magnified vision of the cervix as well as of the vagina and vulva. Many pre-malignant lesions and malignant lesions in these areas have discernible features that can be identified by inspection. The colposcopy procedures are done using a colposcope. It offers a magnified view o...
