Mueller Polarimetric Colposcopy for High-performance Detection of Cervical Changes During Pregnancy
France683 participantsStarted 2020-12-22
Plain-language summary
Mueller polarimetric colposcopy appears to be a powerful tool for evaluating cervical microstructure modification during pregnancy. Some polarimetric parameters of the uterine cervix can be correlated with the gestational age. The uterine cervix's polarimetric analysis could make it possible to accurately predict the term of childbirth and be used as a screening tool for preterm birth.
