Colposcopy and directed biopsy A pap smear is only a screening test. A definitive diagnosis requires inspection of a well-visualized cervix with a colposcope. The cervix is painted with 3% acetic acid solution to enhance surface alterations and vascular changes. The colposcope evaluation is considered adequate or satisfactory if the complete T zone and full extent of the lesions is visualized. Areas of abnormality(e.g., White epithelium, mosaicism, and punctation) are selectively punch biopsied
