Clinical Benefits of Using ZedScan
When used alongside colposcopy ZedScan has demonstrated greater accuracy in detecting cervical disease.
Increased sensitivity
- More patients with cervical disease are detected
- Patients who test negative for disease can confidently be released back to routine cervical screening
Increased specificity
- Better differentiation between high grade and low grade cervical abnormalities
- Potential to move to See & Treat for CIN2/3 diagnosis
- Confidence to treat patients identified with high grade neoplasia (HG CIN)
- Reduce the risk of over-treatment due to higher positive predictive value (PPV) than colposcopy alone
- Reduce patient anxiety by offering treatment immediately
Pin-point the location of pre-cancerous lesions
- Identify the most suitable position on the cervix to take a biopsy
- Minimise the number of biopsies taken to one per patient
- Limit patient discomfort and co- morbidity
