  1. Hello, I work for the CA Dept. of Public Health and am interested in using the image above (A) of the cervical transformation zone in a presentation. Could you please email me and let me know where you got the image so that I can contact them to get permission? Thank you, Cathy @ cathy.hare@cdph.ca.gov
