Authors' objectives:

This review aims to assess the effectiveness of computer-assisted image analysis for cervical screening cytology.

Authors' recommendations: The MSAC recommends that as there is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions on the appropriate use of computer-assisted image analysis versus manual cytology screening, there are no grounds to change current funding arrangements.
Authors' methods: Systematic review
