Abstract

The AI support model showed high and consistent accuracy in endometrial cytological analysis, regardless of diagnostic difficulty as perceived by human diagnosticians. Grad-CAM visualizations revealed diagnostic patterns, and the AI occasionally focused on regions different from those emphasized by human diagnosticians. This study advanced a real-time microscope-integrated AI system toward clinical application.
