Deep Learning Framework Aids Cervical Cancer Detection in Pap Smear Analysis

Researchers have developed a deep learning framework to aid in the early detection of cervical cancer using Pap smear images. The system integrates U-Net for image segmentation and a classification model, tested on the Herlev Pap Smear Dataset. While segmentation showed a marginal improvement in precision and F1-score, its overall impact on classification performance was limited, suggesting it can serve as a supplemental tool for pathologists. AI

IMPACT Offers a potential supplemental tool for pathologists, aiming to improve the accuracy and efficiency of cervical cancer diagnosis.

    Segmentation and Classification of Pap Smear Images for Cervical Cancer Detection Using Deep Learning

    arXiv:2508.17728v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cervical cancer remains a significant global health concern and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Early detection through Pap smear tests is essential to reduce mortality rates; however, the manual exam…
