Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Cytomorphology is known to differ depending on the processing technique, and these differences pose a problem for automated diagnosis using deep learning. We examined the as-yet unclarified relationship between cell detection or classification using artificial intelligence (AI) and the AutoSmear (Sakura Finetek Japan) and liquid-based cytology (LBC) processing techniques.
