Abstract
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative pathological diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) tumours is essential to planning patient management in neuro-oncology. Frozen section slides and cytological preparations provide architectural and cellular information that is analysed by pathologists to reach an intraoperative diagnosis. Progress in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning means that AI systems have significant potential for the provision of highly accurate real-time diagnosis in cytopathology.
