Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for cervical image analysis, wherein a transformation zone is identified in an acetic acid image by registering with its Lugol's iodine counterpart. Then, regions in the transformation zone which show significant changes in whiteness are identified as aceto-white regions and registered with the corresponding Lugol's iodine image, and it is determined if the identified regions in the Lugol's iodine image are iodine negative or positive. Based thereon, the aceto-white region can be categorized as one of metaplasia, inflammation or premalignant lesion region.
