The satisfactory group consisted of 91.3% and unsatisfactory graup consisted of 8.7%. 2. In 126 patients of satisfactory group, the accuracy of cytology was 80.2%(within l histologic degree). The falae positiue rate was 7.1% and false negative rate 12.7%. 3. In 126 patients of satisfactory group. the accuracy of colposcopic impression was 92,1% (within 1 histologic degree), The faJse positive rate was 1.6% and false negative rate 6.3%. 4, The histology of colposcopically directed biopsy was accurate in 98.5% (within 1 histologic degree).
