摘要：
The disclosure is directed to a minimally-invasive diagnostic device for Papanicolaou testing and for an alternative examination method for taking a cell sample. The portable device analyzes cervical tissue using simultaneous electrical and optical measurements. The device examines different areas of cervical tissue, taking electrical measurements in different frequency ranges and optical measurements in three different wavelengths. Once obtained, the measurements are processed in accordance with mathematical formulae obtained from multiple measurements of healthy and cancerous tissues. Three possible responses can be obtained: healthy tissue, cancerous tissue, or the presence of human papilloma virus. A device attachment permits use of the device for self-detection after determining proximity to the cervix, and also includes an accessory for performing the alternative method of taking a cell sample for laboratory analysis to obtain an immediate response for use by the user or another person.
