Artificial intelligence-assisted fast screening cervical high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis and treatment planning
Abstract Every year cervical cancer affects more than 300,000 people, and on average one woman is diagnosed with cervical cancer every minute. Early diagnosis and classification of cervical lesions greatly boosts up the chance of successful treatments of patients, and automated diagnosis and classif...
