Abstract

Rescreening of Pap smears using automated devices offers the ability to re-examine Paps initially interpreted as within normal limits and to use cell-sorting technology to increase the detection of missed abnormal smears. Only recently has the development of high-resolution imaging techniques and advances in computer sciences and cell classifiers enabled investigators to achieve sensitivity and specificity levels in automated screening and quality control devices.
