Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Colposcope

Patients referred for GYN procedures. Specifically, patients will be referred for Pap smear, colposcope or LEEP. The intervention for this arm is the use of the bench-top, miniature optical spectrometer or trans-vaginal colposcope

Device: Optical Spectroscopy Bench-Top System
This device is a bench-top optical spectrometer

Device: Portable Optical Spectrometer
This device is a portable optical spectrometer

Device: Transvaginal colposcope
