Results: In 247 abnorbal cervical smears,147 patients were diagnosed as abnormal colposcopic signs,the rate was 59.5%.The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of digital colposcope in evaluation of cervical diseases were 92.6%, 80.3%, 87%. (Comparing cervical inflammation and ≥CIN1 in this study ) The RCI with abnormal colposcopic signs showed significant difference (p<0.01) .Conclusion: Digital colposcope can be a very accurate diagnostic method in clinical practice.
