Background:

Automated cervical cancer screening relies on accurate cervical cell segmentation.
Distinguishing cytoplasm and nucleus is crucial for cytological analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a deep ensemble model for precise cervical cell segmentation.
To improve automated screening of cervical cancer through enhanced cell analysis.

Main Methods:

Utilized the Cx22 dataset for algorithm development.
Ensembled U-Net and U-Net++ models with transfer learning for segmentation.
Compared ensemble performance against baseline segmentation models.

Main Results:

The ensemble model achieved high Dice similarity coefficients (0.9535 for cytoplasm, 0.7863 for nucleus).
Demonstrated superior sensitivity and specificity compared to baseline models (P < 0.05).
Outperformed baseline models across most segmentation metrics, except cytoplasm specificity.

Conclusions:

The proposed deep ensemble model offers superior performance for cervical cell segmentation.
This algorithm holds potential for integration into automated cervical cancer cytology screening systems.
