Abstract

AI offers a lot of promise for diagnosing cervical cancer, and its uses in cervical cytology screening are particularly well-established. Manual screening of cervical cytology smears is a time-tested method, but AI is set to revolutionize the process by improving outreach, availability, accuracy and economy. A total of 292 hospital in-house Pap smear images have been validated and examined in this study with significant accuracy percentages between AI and expert eyes.
