Video colposcopes are advanced medical devices used to examine areas such as the cervix, vagina, and vulva in detail during gynecological exams. These devices utilize a video system containing optical lenses and a high-resolution camera. Video colposcopes provide gynecologists with a clearer, magnified image and the ability to save and share the images.
The operating principle of video colposcopes is quite simple. The device consists of a light source, optical lenses, and a video camera system. The light source illuminates the area being examined, while the optical lenses perform magnification and focusing functions. The video camera system records the images captured by the optical lenses in high resolution and transmits them to a screen. This allows gynecologists to obtain a detailed image in real time, allowing them to better evaluate the area being examined.
Video colposcopes have a wide range of applications. Among the most common are cervical cancer screening, the evaluation of cervical lesions, and the diagnosis and monitoring of gynecological diseases. Video colposcopes offer the advantage of detecting abnormalities more precisely and allowing for detailed examination of lesions. Furthermore, their image recording and archiving capabilities allow for image sharing between physicians and the ability to obtain second opinions.
