Clinical efficacy of TruScreen optical-electronic technology in the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
The analysis of the results of the studies on the use of TruScreen optical-electronic technology («Polartechnics», Sydney, Australia) is presented. This optical-electronic system evaluates the ability of cervical tissue to reflection and refraction of infrared and visible light spectrum in parallel with the measurement of its electrical properties. It produces immediate conclusion about the presence or absence of cervical intraepithelial lesions. TruScreen technology provides sensitivity comparable to highquality liquid cytologic research and immediate dichotomic outcome that is independent of the laboratory infrastructure. The results obtained allow to consider TruScreen as an independent method of diagnosing of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in young women and as a useful test complementary to cytologic research in patients older than 35 years.
