OPTICAL PROBE FOR CERVICAL EXAMINATION

A system for imaging and examination of a cervix, comprising a control module connectable with a changeable head configured to image the cervix and collect a tissue biopsy, the head selected from a group consisting of a digital colposcope module, a transvaginal optical probe module and an endo-cervical endoscope module. The system may additionally comprise light source(s) to illuminate cervix tissue; sensing device(s) to generate signal(s) from light and/or to acquire image(s) of a portion of a cervix; and processor(s) in communication with the sensing device(s). The system is configured to: (i) analyze the signal(s); (ii) detect the size of the cervix; (iii) determine parameters defining properties of the cervix; (iv) determine and distinguish normal tissue from abnormal tissue within thecervix; (v) determine the location of area(s) of abnormal tissue in the cervix; and (vi) generate a panoramic view of the cervix. 一种用于宫颈成像和检查的系统，包括可连接到可更换的头部的控制模块，被配置为对宫颈进行成像并采集组织活检，该头部选自由数字阴道镜模块、经阴道的光学探针模块和宫颈内内窥镜模块组成的组。该系统还
