Computer-Aided Cervical Mapping

"Since introducing DYSIS to my practice, I am able to identify smaller lesions with greater accuracy. The high resolution images have allowed for better charting, patient care, and follow-up. The DYSIS Colposcope has been a valuable addition to our office."

"After using the DYSIS Advanced Cervical Imaging System and seeing the clinical results, I don't ever want to do colposcopy without DYSIS again. DYSISmap, the documentation images and tools for tracking, add real clinical value for me and my patients. DYSIS represents a technological advancement in the identification and management of cervical dysplasia and cancer prevention."

"My associate and I have been using DYSIS for colposcopic evaluation and we are pleased and grateful for a technologic advancement that will improve our ability to provide the best care for our patients with abnormal pap smears. The DYSIS Colposcope not only provides images and tools such as color mapping, but also assists in detection of dysplasia often unseen…

"In clinical practice, DYSIS is a great tool for the management of cervical lesions. In my experience, DYSIS helps me to identify and grade the cervical lesions visualized in colposcopy, also improving the diagnostic accuracy. Besides that, it also helps me to choose the best place to take biopsies. Combining the DYSISmap into my colposcopy has helped me to increase…

"Cervical Screening Wales is currently running a service evaluation of the DYSIS colposcopes in 4 of its colposcopy clinics. First impressions are that the quality of the imaging is superb and colposcopists have been surprised that some low grade appearing abnormalities yield high grade CIN after taking biopsies when assisted by the DYSISmap."

"As a Nurse Colposcopist, initially I felt apprehensive about using the DYSIS Colposcope; however I have quickly learned to operate it and find the unit very easy and comfortable to use. The DYSISmap feature enables patients to clearly visualize their cervix; which provides an additional tool when explaining the outcome of the colposcopy examination. I would say that DYSIS can…

"This technology has the potential to revolutionize the colposcopy procedure and improve detection of cervical dysplasia, prevent unnecessary procedures and give both patients and providers confidence in the care that is provided. Our practice has found a number of advantages using DYSIS. Being able to have high resolution images to evaluate with other providers has been helpful. Also, the images…

"As a leading gynaecological oncology centre, the Northern Gynaecological Oncology Centre in Gateshead was an early adopter of DYSIS. We use DYSIS to help us to improve sensitivity and also to optimise the management pathway for specific patient groups including mis-match cases that are recognised as a challenge in colposcopy. Our research performed by Dr. Christina Founta on post-treatment (test of…

"Since introduction into our NHS clinic, DYSIS has very quickly become the preferred modality of colposcopy. As supported by NICE, it provides an excellent adjunct to traditional colposcopy. We have found it especially useful in the groups of patients that have been historically difficult to manage, such as persistent low grade disease, and opinion after treatment. From a Quality Assurance…

"As an experienced specialist, one is always keen to embrace new technologies and advancements in clinical practice. DYSIS is one such new technology in colposcopic practice that helps with diagnosis, thus improving targeted treatment and ultimately improved patient outcomes."

"As a leading gynaecological oncology centre, the Northern Gynaecological Oncology Centre in Gateshead was an early adopter of DYSIS. We incorporate DYSISmap for its accurate analysis of the aceto-whitening and also to optimise the management pathway for specific patient groups including mis-match cases that are recognised as a challenge in colposcopy. Our research performed by Dr. Christina Founta on post-treatment…

"My partners and I have been extremely happy with the DYSIS system. After using DYSIS for a month, we have identified several high grade lesions with the assistance of the DYSISmap. The patients have appreciated being able to see and be involved in the colposcopic exam and understand better their condition because of the color mapping. They say it is…

"DYSIS is a very exciting and much needed high-tech imaging system that will improve the detection of Cervical dysplasia in comparison to conventional colposcopy. The future looks bright for DYSIS in terms of effectiveness and cost. Since starting DYSIS at my unit I feel confident it will live up to its expectations."

"There are a number of benefits to using the DYSIS technology. It has been a good educational tool as patients are able to see images and better understand the colposcopy procedure itself. Being able to take high resolution images and keep them as part of a patient record for later review or consultation with another provider in office also improves…

"I was skeptical at first – can a computer generated image really help me to pick up cervical abnormalities better than the naked eye? But I was wrong. The cervical image appeared normal to me – the DYSISmap highlighted two areas of high aceto-whitening that I investigated further, revealing cervical dysplasia on biopsy. Wow - With the new recommendations to decrease PAP…

"We have recently started using DYSIS in our clinic at Kings PRUH and I have found the system very user friendly and easy to use. I have found it allows increased confidence in discharging women to 3 yearly recall after a low grade smear and positive HPV."

"The DYSIS Colposcope helps us to target biopsy areas that we might not otherwise have been suspicious about. There's also a real emphasis now on avoiding any unnecessary treatment - for a lot of dysplasia we have learned that we can safely follow those without necessarily having to treat, but to do that we have to be very certain that we…

"Whilst cervical evaluation with DYSIS is not a substitute for colposcopist experience and developed evaluation skills, its digital analysis has become my "instant, reliable, second opinion". DYSIS allows me to be a more consistent colposcopist thereby maximising reproducibility of results among clinicians. It allows me to educate, explain and reassure my patients. Lastly, it is a great teaching tool -…

"A long-term patient returned for her annual exam after an absence of ten years. Her Pap Smear was read as negative cytology, +mRNA, +type 16 HPV. She had a normal Pap history prior to this exam. She returned for a DYSIS screening colposcopy and has a normal exam except for a white area on DYSISmap at 6 o'clock. Biopsy on…

"I had a patient who had a LGSIL, HPV+, PAP, who had a colpo done which was negative. Patient had AUB (Abnormal Uterine Bleeding) for 6 months and wanted a hysterectomy. Patient had a D&C (Dilatation and Cutterage) HIS (histoscope) which showed a few cells of HGSIL. Patient then had a DYSIS colpo which showed HGSIL confirmed with biopsy. Patient had a LEEP which…

"I have been very pleased with the cervical images. In the short period of time I have had it, it has already helped me to pick up several high grade lesions. I had one patient with ASCUS on Pap, and I expected to find koilocytosis or CIN1 on biopsy, but because of DYSIS I biopsied a site that was CIN2/3…

"Outside of the obvious benefits of the DYSISmap the system helps make the patients an integral part of the process. It allows me to explain to the patient exactly what is occurring during their colposcopy. Many patients find this helpful to calm their nerves and that it gives them a better understanding of the procedure."

"The DYSIS colposcope has made cervical dysplasia and colposcopy a more interactive tool for patient education. It has decreased patient anxiety through the procedure and affords a more in depth understanding of the HPV effect on cervical cells. In addition, I believe it helps reduce subjective discrepancies between exams and accurately targets high grade lesions."

"I have found using the DYSIS Colposcope to be invaluable for those complex low grade cases and the subsequent follow-up management. The DYSIS images and examination playback are instrumental during MDT meetings."

"DYSIS has impacted my practice in 3 key ways: Before DYSIS, it was a challenge to tell patients what we saw during their colposcopy, but now the patients can actually be involved with the exam. Also, having the images stored for follow-up is very helpful when reviewing patients' history. The most compelling impact on my practice has been having the…

"I believe the DYSIS Colposcope gives me the ability to see exactly where the abnormalities of the cervix are located. The DYSIS colposcope helps to prevent me from having to perform "random" biopsies which I have found causes my patients unnecessary pain, but in the past, were recommended and helped me feel certain that I did not miss any cervical…

"The DYSIS Colposcope has given me much more confidence in my colposcopies. I feel like I have a second pair of eyes watching over me. In fact, I do!"

"I'm impressed by the DYSIS Colposcope. It's ability to help me to select biopsy sites has resulted in me finding an increased number of significant pathologies."

"The instant feedback with the DYSISmap really gives me the reassurance and confidence when deciding from where to obtain my biopsies. The visualisation of the map by the patient also enhances their understanding of the process."

"DYSIS has been an outstanding addition to our practice.  Despite being trained by world-renowned colposcopist, the late Ray Kaufman at Baylor College of Medicine, the DYSIS system frequently reveals lesions I would otherwise have missed. It was well worth the money!"

"The optics on DYSIS really make a difference. The only accommodation I had to make was with a small change to my biopsy technique. Overall I am very pleased to use the system."

"I have recently started to use the DYSIS Colposcope and it has only added to my medical practice. The clear images and DYSISmap have been instrumental in teaching patients. Also, I have identified additional lesions with the help of the DYSISmap technology, which has led to changes in management and better patient care."

"The DYSIS Colposcope has been a welcome addition to our practice. The clarity of images is outstanding. Patients appreciate the latest advances in technology as well as the option to visualise their pathology. The ease of use and DYSISmap feature exceeds conventional colposcopy."

"DYSIS provides excellent visualisation with exacting confirmation of optimal biopsy sites. It provides the opportunity for patient participation with superb charting of pictorial documentation. All of the above combine to establish DYSIS as the next generation of colposcopy."

"DYSIS is amazing! Colpos are now faster and more accurate. The images are so much clearer than with traditional colposcopes. The patients love seeing the abnormal areas; they feel more educated about what is going on with their bodies."

"The addition of DYSIS assisted mapping to my routine colposcopy has increased our pick up of lesions and confidence in our results. The picture documentation is invaluable for recall when pathology reports become available. The best part is the ability to include and educate patients so that they become partners in their care."

"I find DYSIS to be valuable for the colposcopy examination. It helps me to increase my sensitivity in the identification of abnormal areas and therefore to reduce the number of biopsies taken. I also find it useful in educational settings for patients, student nurses and medical staff alike. I provides such clear visual evidence when explaining findings and the procedure."

"We've been using DYSIS for several years now and it is a very valuable piece of equipment for our unit. I find that the DYSISmap provides me with reassurance when deciding to take biopsies and form what location. It has also helped me to pick up many high grade lesions when cytology suggested Low Grade abnormalities."

"We have had our DYSIS for five months, and it's great! We had one 32 year old patient with HrHPV+, Pap negative. ASCCP Guidelines are to repeat in a year, but we decided to colpo. Straight forward visualisation and the colpo didn't show any abnormalities, but the DYSISmap revealed a large area of interest that returned a biopsy result of CIN3!…

"I have been practicing OBGY for approximately 40 years both in the Military and private practice as well as teaching Residents. I started out in the mid 1970's with 4 quadrant biopsies and cold knife conization. Watching classification from class 1 through 4, to CIN1 to Dysplasia. Then came colposcopy and aceto-white lesion, abnormal vessels and gross lesions as you…

"What I love most about DYSIS is how interactive it can be for the patient. Being able to visualise the cervix and its mapping - my patients have a better understanding of the need for evaluation. The precision of the DYSIS technology not only gives me more confidence in the biopsies taken, but it also increase my patients reassurance."

"The DYSIS colposcopy has made a tremendous impact on my practice by allowing patients to be able to see and understand cervical dysplasia and it has also been a useful tool in teaching our residents and medical students. It also gives us more objective information during colposcopy which has traditionally been very subjective: proven by the fact that random biopsies…

"Having a colposcopy is a very anxious time for women especially our younger patients - in my experience many of the women who come for colposcopy are visiting hospital for the first time. Due to the increased accuracy DYSIS provides, we can confidently discharge women to routine follow up with added reassurance, knowing there is nothing that we may have…

"There is no doubt that we are more accurate with the DYSIS Colposcope. There has definitely been times that the DYSISmap has helped me to pick up areas of dysplasia that I would not have otherwise biopsied. With the DYSIS Colposcope, not only has our detection rate increased, but the level of education and understanding for our patients has significantly…

"The DYSIS has made colposcopy a teaching tool where patients can better understand colposcopy and cervical dysplasia. It provides a second opinion on targeting biopsy sites. Being able to integrate colposcopy images into the patient's chart helps with monitoring lesions and better targeting of lesions that require further treatment."

"I have introduced the DYSIS advanced cervical imaging system into my practice for colposcopy and biopsy. The difference it makes in detecting specific areas of dysplasia on the cervix is second to none. It has significantly improved identification of biopsy sites where the burden of disease is highest. This should definitely become the standard of care for women with abnormal…

"DYSIS Colposcopy has changed the management of cervical dysplasia within my practice. The enhanced imaging and archive have allowed my patients to have the confidence of leading technology coupled with years of physician experience."

"I like the reassurance of true negative results, which prevents the need to perform random biopsies. This gives my patients more comfort during the exam. The added information the DYSISmap provides on each patients' evaluation also allows me to better assess my finding. I highly recommend having DYSIS for your practice and your patients."

"DYSIS is an incredible addition to women's healthcare.  I have already identified areas of concern with the DYSIS mapping, which would have been overlooked with the naked eye.  The standardization of the entire process gives me reassurance that there is enough acetic acid applied and enough time passed during the exam to get the best results.  My patients are also…

The DYSIS Colposcope has already helped me take better care of my patients in the short time that I have been using it. DYSIS not only gives me more accurate cervical imaging, it helps my patients better understand what is going on with their own cervix. I explain to each patient that the DYSISmap is like "Doppler radar" for the…
