Because of the limitations of the Pap smear test, much attention has been given to development of technologies to increase the reliability of routine cervical cytology. Newer technologies in this field include automated slide preparation devices, automated slide readers, direct visualization methods and application of flow cytometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. These technologies show promise, but data on their costs, efficacy and effectiveness remain limited. Their introduction in Australia should be linked to local trials, and consideration of their impact on mortality and morbidity and on health care budgets.
由于巴氏涂片检查存在局限性，人们已将大量注意力投入到提高常规宫颈细胞学检查可靠性的技术研发上。该领域的新技术包括自动玻片制备装置、自动玻片阅读器、直接可视化方法以及流式细胞术和核磁共振的应用。这些技术显示出了前景，但有关其成本、疗效和效果的数据仍然有限。它们在澳大利亚的引入应与当地试验相关联，并考虑其对死亡率、发病率以及医疗保健预算的影响。
