Abstract

BACKGROUND: Colposcopy is indispensable for the diagnosis of cervical lesions. However, its diagnosis accuracy for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) is at about 50%, and the accuracy is largely dependent on the skill and experience of colposcopists. The advancement in computational power made it possible for the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to clinical problems. Here, we explored the feasibility and accuracy of the application of AI on precancerous and cancerous cervical colposcopic image recognition and classification.
