Abstract

Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of a new technique of cervical imaging and to consider its
Design A prospective cross-sectional study with each case acting as its own control, comparing video
Setting University of Birmingham colposcopy clinics, City Hospital and Birmingham Women's Hospital.
Participants Fifty women referred for colposcopy.
Interventions The women had a video colpogram recording made prior to colposcopy.
Main outcome measures The proportion of technically suitable colpograms obtained and the level of
agreement between colposcopist and video screener.
Results The images were satisfactory or good in 94% cases, and there was a very high level of agreement
between colposcopist and video screener (K = 0.79). If the technique had been used in a primary
health care setting as a secondary screening method for women with low grade cervical smear
abnormalities, 6 1 % would have avoided referral for colposcopy.
Conclusions Video colpography is an accurate, portable and quick method of cervical imaging. It
combines the simplicity of a video camera with the versatility of computerised digital imaging and
has great potential in the fields of teaching, audit and screening of low grade smear abnormalities.
