The invention provides a system (100) for acquiring cervical images which comprises an image acquisition subsystem (120) for acquiring cervical images (122) of a cervical region of a patient during a colposcopy procedure, and a display subsystem (160) for displaying the cervical images on a display (060) by providing image data (162) of the cervical images to the display. According to the invention, the image acquisition subsystem (120) is arranged for, when operating in an interval mode, acquiring the cervical images (122) at predetermined time intervals to obtain a time-series of cervical images showing changes in the cervical region over time, and reporting a progress of said acquiring to the display subsystem. Moreover, the display subsystem (160) is arranged for establishing a progress indicator (400-416) on the display by generating indicator data (164) and providing the indicator data to the display (060), the progress indicator providing visual feedback on the progress of said acquiring to a user. Accordingly, the user is provided with visual feedback on a status of the acquiring of the cervical images. In particular, the progress indicator avoids that the user experiences a loss of control or confusion.Linvention concerne un système (100) pour acquérir des images cervicales, lequel système comprend un sous-système dacquisition dimage (120) pour acquérir des images cervicales (122) dune région cervicale dun patient durant une intervention de colposcopie, et un sous-système daffichage (160) pour afficher les images cervicales sur un dispositif daffichage (060) par fourniture de données dimage (162) des images cervicales au dispositif daffichage.
