BACKGROUND: Medical imaging has seen significant advancements through machine learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These technologies have transformed the analysis of pathological images, enhancing the accuracy of diagnosing a...
INTRODUCTION: Women who receive a result of an abnormal Papanicolaou (Pap) smear can fail to participate in follow up procedures, and this is often due to anxiety. This study aimed to apply artificial neural networks (ANN) in prediction of anxiety in...
A double-check process helps prevent errors and ensures quality control. However, it may lead to decreased personal accountability, reduced effort, and declining quality checks. Introducing an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system in such scenari...
Cervical cancer remains a major global health challenge, accounting for significant morbidity and mortality among women. Early detection through screening, such as Pap smear tests, is crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. How...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
