A Cytopathologist′s Eye Assistant for Cell Screening

Abstract

Marian Fassun*

The field of cytopathology relies heavily on the expertise and meticulous examination of cellular samples. To aid in the screening and analysis of these samples, cytopathologists often utilize advanced technologies and tools, one of which is an assistant known as the "Cytopathologist's Eye." The Cytopathologist's Eye refers to computer-assisted screening systems that assist cytopathologists in reviewing and analyzing cellular specimens. These systems leverage image analysis algorithms and artificial intelligence to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of cell screening processes. They serve as valuable tools in the field, supporting cytopathologists in their diagnostic endeavors. The primary purpose of the Cytopathologist's Eye assistant is to assist in the initial screening of cellular samples, such as Pap smears or fine needle aspirations. These systems are capable of scanning and analyzing digital images of cells, identifying and flagging abnormal or potentially suspicious cells for further review by the cytopathologist. By automating the initial screening process, the assistant helps streamline workflow and optimize the cytopathologist's time.
