Digital holographic microscopy as screening tool for cervical cancer preliminary study

The liquid‐based cytology Papanicolaou (Pap) test has gradually replaced the conventional Pap test, as it seems to be more efficient, in part because it uses computer assistance. However, Pap test diagnoses are still subjective and are cost‐consuming or time‐consuming. The authors describe a new digital holographic microscopy instrument and accompanying software. This technology provides an instantaneous, 3‐dimensional image reconstruction of cells directly from the uterine cervical sample vial.
