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...

Detecting the impact of diagnostic procedures in Pap-positive women on anxiety using artificial neural networks.

PloS one
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...

Enhancing pap smear image classification: integrating transfer learning and attention mechanisms for improved detection of cervical abnormalities.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
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...

Enhancing cervical cancer cytology screening via artificial intelligence innovation.

Scientific reports
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...

CINNAMON-GUI: Revolutionizing Pap Smear Analysis with CNN-Based Digital Pathology Image Classification.

F1000Research
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...

Consistent and effective method to define the mouse estrous cycle stage by a deep learning-based model.

The Journal of endocrinology
The mouse estrous cycle is divided into four stages: proestrus (P), estrus (E), metestrus (M), and diestrus (D). The estrous cycle affects reproductive hormone levels in a wide variety of tissues. Therefore, to obtain reliable results from female mic...

Assessment of Efficacy and Accuracy of Cervical Cytology Screening With Artificial Intelligence Assistive System.

Modern pathology : an official journal of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, Inc
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in pathology offers many exciting new possibilities for improving patient care. This study contributes to this development by identifying the viability of the AICyte assistive system for cervical screening, an...

Improving cervical cancer classification in PAP smear images with enhanced segmentation and deep progressive learning-based techniques.

Diagnostic cytopathology
OBJECTIVE: Cervical cancer, a prevalent and deadly disease among women, comes second only to breast cancer, with over 700 daily deaths. The Pap smear test is a widely utilized screening method for detecting cervical cancer in its early stages. Howeve...

Cervical cell's nucleus segmentation through an improved UNet architecture.

PloS one
Precise segmentation of the nucleus is vital for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) in cervical cytology. Automated delineation of the cervical nucleus has notorious challenges due to clumped cells, color variation, noise, and fuzzy boundaries. Due to it...

Application of the sliding window method and Mask-RCNN method to nuclear recognition in oral cytology.

Diagnostic pathology
BACKGROUND: We aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted oral cytology method, similar to cervical cytology. We focused on the detection of cell nuclei because the ratio of cell nuclei to cytoplasm increases with increasing cell malig...
