===Definition===
<math>MI = P : I : S </math>.
Where:
*P = number of parabasal cells / 300 squamous cells * 100 %.
*I = number of intermediate cells / 300 squamous cells * 100 %.
*S = number of superficial cells / 300 squamous cells * 100 %.
===Interpretation===
Common patterns:
*Superficial predominant, no parabasal = high estrogen effect.
*Parabasal predominant, no superficial = atrophy.
