  • Title: Electronic cell volume (coulter volume) distribution of vaginal-cervical cytology samples.
    Author: Cassidy M, Fowlkes BJ, Herman CJ.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1975; 19(2):117-25. PubMed ID: 1054897.
    Abstract:
    Peripheral blood and buccal cells were used as "model" cell populations to indicate where in the electronic cell volume (ECV) spectrum the individual cell populations of vaginal and cervical irrigations would appear. Four clinical samples each representing a different stage of abnormality were evaluated and compared with the "model" cell populations. The pattern was the same for all of the clinical samples and correlated with the blood and buccal cell populations. Only two distinct ECV populations were observed, the inflammatory cells and the epithelial cells. There was no difference in pattern of any of the volume distributions to indicate abnormality to any degree.
