- Clinical-grade autonomous cytopathology pipeline combines high-resolution, real-time optical whole-slide tomography with edge computing for end-to-end automation.
- The system achieves practical performance in imaging speed, quality, and data volume, with localized data compression enabling streamlined storage and accelerated AI-driven analysis.
- A vision transformer achieved AUC values exceeding 0.99 at the single-cell level for detecting LSILs, HSILs, and adenocarcinoma.
- In a multicentre evaluation of 1,124 cervical liquid-based cytology samples, the AI model achieved slide-level AUC values of 0.86-0.91 for LSIL+ and 0.89-0.97 for HSIL+.
- The system enables autonomous triage cytology, offering a foundation for routine, scalable, and objective diagnostics.
