BACKGROUND: Unlike Papanicolaou tests, there are no commercially available computer-assisted automated screening systems for urine specimens. Despite The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology, there still is poor interobserver agreement with ur...
BACKGROUND: The Paris System for Urine Cytopathology (the Paris System) has succeeded in making the analysis of liquid-based urine preparations more reproducible. Any algorithm seeking to automate this system must accurately estimate the nuclear-to-c...
BACKGROUND: The average sensitivity of conventional cytology for the identification of cancer cells in effusion specimens is only approximately 58%. DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM), which exploits the DNA content of morphologically suspicious nuclei me...
BACKGROUND: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is an accurate method for the diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses. However, a significant number of cases still pose a diagnostic challenge. The authors have attempted to design a computer model to aid...
BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in digital pathology have extended into cytopathology. Laboratories screening cervical cytology specimens now choose between limited imaging options and traditional manual microscopy. The Techcyte SureView™ Cervical Cy...
BACKGROUND: The Paris System (TPS) introduced standardized nuclear-to-cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio thresholds for urine cytology to improve high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) detection, but these criteria remain subjective. This study used AIxURO, an ...
BACKGROUND: Accurate diagnosis of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is challenging, especially in poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). This study was aimed to search the best or best combination of neuroendocrine markers in the diagn...
