Automation-assisted cervical screening via Pap smear or liquid-based cytology (LBC) is a highly effective cell imaging based cancer detection tool, where cells are partitioned into "abnormal" and "normal" categories. However, the success of…
Cervical cancer remains a significant health challenge, with high incidence and mortality rates, particularly in transitioning countries. Conventional Liquid-Based Cytology(LBC) is a labor-intensive process, requires expert pathologists and…
Analyzing Pap cytology slides is an important tasks in detecting and grading precancerous and cancerous cervical cancer stages. Processing cytology images usually involve segmenting nuclei and overlapping cells. We introduce a cervical…
Screening Papanicolaou test samples has proven to be highly effective in reducing cervical cancer-related mortality. However, the lack of trained cytopathologists hinders its widespread implementation in low-resource settings. Deep…
Fine-grained classification of cervical cells into different abnormality levels is of great clinical importance but remains very challenging. Contrary to traditional classification methods that rely on hand-crafted or engineered features,…
The 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…
Automatic examination of thin-prep cytologic test (TCT) slides can assist pathologists in finding cervical abnormality for accurate and efficient cancer screening. Current solutions mostly need to localize suspicious cells and classify…
Cervical cancer is the seventh most common cancer among all the cancers worldwide and the fourth most common cancer among women. Cervical cytopathology image classification is an important method to diagnose cervical cancer. Manual…
Cervical cancer, one of the most common fatal cancers among women, can be prevented by regular screening to detect any precancerous lesions at early stages and treat them. Pap smear test is a widely performed screening technique for early…
Accurate and efficient cell detection is crucial in many biomedical image analysis tasks. We evaluate the performance of several Deep Learning (DL) methods for cell detection in Papanicolaou-stained cytological Whole Slide Images (WSIs),…
Cervical cancer is one of the deadliest cancers affecting women globally. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) assessment using histopathological examination of cervical biopsy slides is subject to interobserver variability. Automated…
Cytology screening from Papanicolaou (Pap) smears is a common and effective tool for the preventive clinical management of cervical cancer, where abnormal cell detection from whole slide images serves as the foundation for reporting…
This article adresses the problem of automatic squamous cells classification for cervical cancer screening using Deep Learning methods. We study different architectures on a public dataset called Herlev dataset, which consists in…
Accurate labeling is essential for supervised deep learning methods. However, it is almost impossible to accurately and manually annotate thousands of images, which results in many labeling errors for most datasets. We proposes a local…
Cervical glandular cell (GC) detection is a key step in computer-aided diagnosis for cervical adenocarcinomas screening. It is challenging to accurately recognize GCs in cervical smears in which squamous cells are the major. Widely existing…
Label-free approaches are attractive in cytological imaging due to their flexibility and cost efficiency. They are supported by machine learning methods, which, despite the lack of labeling and the associated lower contrast, can classify…
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are crucial biomarkers in liquid biopsy, offering a noninvasive tool for cancer patient management. However, their identification remains particularly challenging due to their limited number and heterogeneity.…
A comprehensive study on machine and deep learning techniques for classification of normal and abnormal cervical cells by using pap smear images from Herlev dataset results are presented. This dataset includes 917 images and 7 different…
Automated detection and classification of cervical cells in conventional Pap smear images can strengthen cervical cancer screening at scale by reducing manual workload, improving triage, and increasing consistency across readers. However,…
Cervical cancer is one of the most deadly and common diseases among women worldwide. It is completely curable if diagnosed in an early stage, but the tedious and costly detection procedure makes it unviable to conduct population-wise…
