Diagnostic accuracy of an artificial intelligence-driven cytopathological tool in detecting cervical pre-cancerous lesions from Pap smear images

Background Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer death among women in sub-Saharan Africa, with Tanzania bearing a disproportionate burden. The critical shortage of trained pathologists, coupled with the unprecedented disease burden in low-resource settings, underscores the urgent need for point-of-care scre...

Adaptive dual backbone feature fusion with compact latent representation learning for pap smear image classification

Cervical cancer is highly preventable when precancerous cytological abnormalities are identified early; however, manual Pap smear assessment remains labour-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to inter-observer variability. Automated cervical cytology is also challenging because Pap smear cell images often exhibit subt...

CytoAL: Toward Label-Efficient Cytology Diagnosis via Cellularity-Guided Active Learning

Examining thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) can grade cancer risks, derive prognostic information, and guide follow-up care or surgery decision-making. However, thyroid cytology’s diagnostic cues are more dispersed compared with pathology images in other disciplines, making standard annotation strategy for AI diagno...
