Abstract

[0002] Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women worldwide. Early detection and treatment are crucial to improving the survival rate of patients. At present, liquid-based thin-layer cell detection technology (such as ThinPrep or SurePath, etc.) has become the main means of cervical cancer screening. This technology can effectively detect early cancerous cells by collecting cervical cell samples and performing thin-layer smears, combined with microscopic observation and diagnosis by cytologists.
[0003] However, existing technologies have many limitations. First, the diagnosis of cytologists is highly dependent on personal experience and subjective judgment, and is easily affected by factors such as fatigue and distraction, which makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the diagnostic results. Secondly, the traditional manual film reading method is inefficient and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale screening. In addition, the sensitivity of manual diagnosis is limited for the identification of subtle changes in cell morphological characteristics or early lesions, and some potential high-risk cases may be missed.
[0004] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and deep learning technology, although some automated auxiliary diagnosis systems based on image processing have been proposed, these systems often focus on the analysis of single cell features, ignoring the spatial relationship and interaction between cells, as well as the integration of patient clinical information, resulting in limited detection accuracy and robustness. At the same time, data security, processing efficiency and continuous model optimization capabilities are also challenges facing current technologies.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent detection method that can comprehensively consider cell morphological characteristics, spectral characteristics, spatial relationships between cells, and patient clinical information to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and personalization level of cervical cancer detection.

Example 2 Enhanced version of the intelligent identification system for cervical cancer cells based on liquid-based thin layer cell detection.
[0049] S1: Sample collection and multispectral image acquisition S11: Sample processing uses a semi-automated process.

Each image is annotated by experts, including the size and shape of the cell nucleus, chromatin distribution, nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, and fluorescence intensity under a specific spectrum.
[0053] S22: Design a deep convolutional neural network (Deep CNN) model, combining the attention mechanism (AttentionMechanism) and the residual network (ResNet) structure to improve feature extraction capabilities and model depth. The model contains 15 convolutional layers, each followed by a ReLU activation function and a batch normalization layer, and 4 residual blocks to reduce the gradient vanishing problem during training.
[0054] S23: Data augmentation strategies include random cropping (cropping to 80%-100% of the original size), random rotation (0-360 degrees), random color jitter (brightness, contrast, saturation changes), and horizontal and vertical flipping. Each transformation generates 3 new images to enrich the training dataset.
[0055] S24: K-fold cross validation (K=10) was used to evaluate the model performance, using AUC (area under the curve), accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score as evaluation indicators. Based on the validation results, the model hyperparameters were adjusted using grid search and random search methods, and the final model achieved an AUC of 0.98 and an F1 score of 96% on the test set.
[0056] S3: Spatial relationships between cells and recognition of abnormal patterns S31: Construct a cell spatial relationship graph and use the Delaunay triangulation method to determine the spatial proximity relationship between cells. Each cell is regarded as a node in the graph, and the edges between nodes indicate that the spatial distance between cells is less than a certain threshold (such as 75 pixels).
[0057] S32: Apply Graph Attention Network (GAT) to encode the spatial relationship graph and learn the spatial layout and correlation patterns between cells through a multi-head attention mechanism. The number of layers is 4 and the number of heads in each layer is 8.
[0058] S33: Design a graph convolution operation, use ELU (exponential linear unit) as the activation function, and update the feature representation of each node by aggregating the feature information of adjacent nodes to capture abnormal aggregation, irregular arrangement or tissue structure changes between cells.
[0059] S34: The features output by GAT are fused with the cell features extracted by Deep CNN through a feature fusion network (FFN). FFN contains two fully connected layers, uses the ReLU activation function, and finally performs classification through a Softmax layer to improve the accuracy and robustness of detection.
[0060] S4: Preliminary test report generation and risk assessment S41: Based on the fusion results of Deep CNN and GAT, a preliminary detection report is generated containing the location, number, type (such as squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, etc.) and confidence level of suspected cervical cancer cells.
[0061] S42: Construct a Bayesian network model that includes clinical data such as patient age, medical history (including history of HPV infection, previous history of cervical disease), reproductive history, smoking history, family genetic history, and the probabilistic relationship between these data and the risk of cervical cancer.
[0062] S43: Combine the cell features in the preliminary test report with the clinical data in the Bayesian network model, use the Bayesian inference algorithm to calculate the posterior probability of the patient having cervical cancer, and divide the patients into three groups: low risk, medium risk, and high risk according to the posterior probability.
[0063] S44: Based on the risk stratification results, provide doctors with personalized treatment recommendations or further examination plans, such as regular screening for low-risk patients, more detailed cytological examination for medium-risk patients, and direct histological biopsy for high-risk patients.
[0064] S5: Feedback Learning and Model Optimization S51: Establish a clinical diagnosis result database and continuously collect cervical cancer cell detection cases verified by the gold standard of pathology, which currently contains 1,500 cases, of which 750 are positive and 750 are negative.
[0065] S52: Compare the clinical diagnosis results with the model prediction results every month, calculate the confusion matrix, and analyze the reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
[0066] S53: Apply online learning technology to incrementally learn the model using newly collected case data, with a learning rate of 0.0001 and the number of iterations dynamically adjusted according to the amount of data to continuously improve model performance. At the same time, apply transfer learning technology to transfer the model's knowledge on similar tasks (such as other types of cancer cell detection) to the cervical cancer cell detection task to improve the generalization ability of the model.
[0067] S54: Monitor the performance changes of the model on the validation set and test set. If the accuracy, AUC and other indicators continuously drop by more than the threshold (such as 1%), the model retraining process will be triggered. During retraining, the training data set is updated with the latest clinical data and medical research results, and the model structure and hyperparameters are adjusted to ensure the continuous adaptability and accuracy of the model.
[0068] Through the above embodiments, the enhanced version of the cervical cancer cell intelligent identification system based on liquid-based thin layer cell detection of the present invention can realize efficient and accurate identification of cervical cancer cells, and at the same time provide personalized risk assessment and treatment recommendations based on the patient's clinical information, providing strong support for doctors' clinical decision-making.
