An Ensemble-Based Two-Step Framework for Classification of Pap Smear Cell Images [PDF]
arXivEarly detection of cervical cancer is crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality by identifying precancerous lesions as soon as possible. As a result, the use of pap smear screening has significantly increased, leading to a growing demand for automated tools that can assist cytologists managing their rising workload. To address this,

Comparing Deep Learning Models for Multi-cell Classification in Liquid-based Cervical Cytology Images [PDF]
AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2019 (2019) 820-827, 2019 Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is a reliable automated technique for the screening of Papanicolaou (Pap) smear data. It is an effective technique for collecting a majority of the cervical cells and aiding cytopathologists in locating abnormal cells. Most methods published in the research literature rely on accurate cell segmentation as a prior, which ...

Debris removal in Pap-smear images
Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2013 Since its introduction in the 1940s the Pap-smear test has helped reduce the incidence of cervical cancer dramatically in countries where regular screening is standard. The automation of this procedure is an open problem that has been ongoing for over fifty years without reaching satisfactory results.

What is the best approach for patients with ASCUS detected on Pap smear? [PDF]
, 2004 DNA testing for human papillomavirus (HPV), especially if the sample can be obtained at the same time as the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear, can guide the management of women whose test result shows atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS).

Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models for Classifying Squamous Epithelial Cells of the Cervix [PDF]
arXivThe cervix is the narrow end of the uterus that connects to the vagina in the female reproductive system. Abnormal cell growth in the squamous epithelial lining of the cervix leads to cervical cancer in females. A Pap smear is a diagnostic procedure used to detect cervical cancer by gently collecting cells from the surface of the cervix with a small ...

Unsupervised organization of cervical cells using high resolution digital holographic microscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We report results on unsupervised organization of cervical cells using microscopy of Pap-smear samples in brightfield (3-channel colour) as well as high resolution quantitative phase imaging modalities. A number of morphological parameters are measured for each of the 1450 cell nuclei (from $10$ woman subjects) imaged in this study.

Speculoscopy as Pap Smear Adjunct
Cancer Research and Treatment, 2003 Speculoscopy, or magnified chemiluminescent examination (MCE), is a new visual method for the detection of cervical neoplasia. It utilizes low magnification and a special "blue-white" chemiluminescent light. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the screening effectiveness of speculoscopy combined with the conventional Papanicolaou smear, as ...
