The relation between uterine cervix temperature differentials and epithelial abnormalities.
Temperature measurements of the human cervix uteri were made at various locations by a direct-contact thermistor probe. These measurements were compared to both colposcopic findings and histologic examination of tissue biopsies. A correlation between loci of temperature elevation and tissue abnormality was found; however, the measurements were not able to predict the severity of this abnormality.
