AI-assisted cervical cytology precancerous screening for high-risk population in resource-limited regions using a compact microscope.

Nature communications
Insufficient coverage of cervical cytology screening in resource-limited areas remains a major bottleneck for women's health, as traditional centralized methods require significant investment and many qualified pathologists. Using consumer-grade elec...

Accuracy and acceptability of self-sampling HPV testing in cervical cancer screening: a population-based study in rural Yunnan, China.

Scientific reports
To evaluate the accuracy and acceptability of self-sampling samples for HPV testing for cervical cancer screening in rural Yunnan of China. In 2022, 3000 women aged 17-69 were recruited and provided self-sampling vaginal samples alongside provider-sa...

CNN based method for classifying cervical cancer cells in pap smear images.

Scientific reports
The absence of reliable early treatment serves as one of the main causes of cervical cancer. Hence, it is crucial to detect cervical cancer early. The biggest challenge in diagnosing cervical cancer early is that it is asymptomatic until it develops ...

Exploring potential methylation markers for ovarian cancer from cervical scraping samples.

Human genomics
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers, making early detection crucial, as the five-year survival rate drops from 92% with early-stage diagnosis compared to 31% with late-stage diagnosis. Current diagnos...

Deep learning enabled liquid-based cytology model for cervical precancer and cancer detection.

Nature communications
Deep learning (DL) enabled liquid-based cytology has potential for cervical cancer screening or triage. Here, we develop a DL model using whole cytology slides from 17,397 women and test it on 10,826 additional cases through a three-stage process. Th...

A deep ensemble learning approach for squamous cell classification in cervical cancer.

Scientific reports
Cervical cancer, arising from the cells of the cervix, the lower segment of the uterus connected to the vagina-poses a significant health threat. The microscopic examination of cervical cells using Pap smear techniques plays a crucial role in identif...

Comparison of deep transfer learning models for classification of cervical cancer from pap smear images.

Scientific reports
Cervical cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide, and it is particularly prevalent among women living in developing countries. Traditional classification algorithms often require segmentation and feature extraction techniques t...

BMT: A Cross-Validated ThinPrep Pap Cervical Cytology Dataset for Machine Learning Model Training and Validation.

Scientific data
In the past several years, a few cervical Pap smear datasets have been published for use in clinical training. However, most publicly available datasets consist of pre-segmented single cell images, contain on-image annotations that must be manually e...

Integration of AI-Assisted in Digital Cervical Cytology Training: A Comparative Study.

Cytopathology : official journal of the British Society for Clinical Cytology
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the supporting role of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital cervical cytology training.

Performance of deep learning models in predicting the nugent score to diagnose bacterial vaginosis.

Microbiology spectrum
The Nugent score is a commonly used diagnostic tool for bacterial vaginosis. However, its accuracy depends on the skills of laboratory technicians. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of deep learning models in predicting the Nugent score to...
