Jin - Figure 9 - Co-testing & Clinical Sensitivity

This graph shows you that if you use the Pap test alone, the sensitivity of detecting a CIN 2+ lesion is about 70% to 80% with or without a computer imaging system. However, combining Pap and HPV testing (“co-testing”), clinical sensitivity is 100%.
