The effects of repeated spectroscopic pressure measurements on fluorescence intensity in the cervix

Article Abstract:

Repeated measures of spectroscopic fluorescence were taken in the cervix to determine whether the order of measurement produces changes in fluorescence intensity and whether there are differences in variation due to pressure. Results showed that after corrections for multiple comparisons, neither the order nor the variability of probe pressure significantly affected variations in fluorescence intensity.

Optical coherence tomography: A pilot study of a new imaging technique for noninvasive examination of cervical tissue

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine whether an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system could be used clinically in vivo to image and distinguish features of normal and abnormal cervical tissue. OCT images that contain information about epithelial and stromal structure can be clinically obtained and image features of normal and abnormal cervical epithelium differ significantly.

Laser scanning confocal microscopy of cervical tissue before and after application of acetic acid

Article Abstract:

A confocal microscope could be used to examine cervical tissue without having to do a biopsy. This microscope uses a laser and can be placed inside a speculum, which is a device doctors use to examine the cervix.
