Microspectrophotometric Screening System with Multi-Fiber Scanning, Practically Feasible for the Detection of Premalignant and Malignant Lesions of the Cervix

摘要

The population screening has been recognized as an efficient means of diagnostic cytology in early carcinomas of the cervix. A microspectrophotometry apparatus was designed based on our original method with bundled glass fibers for scanning of malignant cells. Evidence presented is as follows: 150 cases out of 177 cases of female subjects are positive (84.7%), 3 of 72 cases (4.2%) are false negative, and 24 of 165 cases (22.9%) are false positive in automated screening rate.
