Application and performance of artificial intelligence technology in cytopathology

Deep learning algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) are making great progress in their capacity to evaluate and interpret image data recent advancements in computer vision and machine learning. The first use of AI in a pathology lab was in cytopathology, when a computer-assisted Pap test screening was created. Initially designed to diagnose rather than screen, there was a lot of disagreement concerning their wide use to clinical specimens. However, whole-slide imaging of both gynaecological and non-gynaecological histopathology have been the subject of recent AI work. An overview of the literature on AI in cytopathology is provided in this brief review. To be more precise, it intends to emphasize the relevance of applications of AI algorithms to gynaecological and non-gynaecologic cytology. Between January 2000 and December 2021, a search on artificial intelligence in cytopathology was conducted in several well-known databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar. Only full-text papers that could be accessed online were evaluated.
