The invention provides an artificial-intelligence–based platform for automated analysis of Pap smear slides. The
system integrates preprocessing, dual
deep learning models (CNN-
Transformer and EfficientNet-LSTM), and reporting modules to classify cytological images into diagnostic categories including NILM, ASC-US, LSIL, HSIL, and SCC. The platform includes
interpretability outputs, secure
data management, and active learning capabilities, enabling scalable, accurate, and transparent cervical-
cancer screening across diverse laboratory settings. The platform is suitable for implementation in
clinical pathology laboratories, telemedicine networks, and
population-level
screening programs. It allows rapid, reproducible, and
objective evaluation of
cytology slides, improving
throughput while reducing reliance on manual slide examination. The invention is deployable on local servers, private clouds, or public cloud infrastructures and is adaptable to various
cytology specimens. Adoption of this
system enhances
early detection of precancerous lesions, reduces inter-observer variability, and facilitates integration with laboratory information systems. It also supports continuous learning and
adaptation to evolving imaging protocols. The invention provides multiple advantages over existing methods: (1) Dual-
model architecture combining CNN-
Transformer and EfficientNet- LSTM ensures robust classification across both dense and sparse cellular regions. (2)Preprocessing and adaptive tiling improve
feature extraction from variable-quality images. (3)
Interpretability modules enhance clinician trust and facilitate regulatory compliance. (4) Active learning allows continuous improvement based on expert feedback. (5) Modular deployment supports both local laboratory and cloud-based operation. (6)
Data security features meet international standards for privacy and
encryption. (7) High
scalability enables screening of large slide volumes without compromising accuracy. The invention provides a clinically relevant, efficient, and technologically advanced solution for automated cervical-
cancer screening, applicable in diverse healthcare environments and adaptable to future
cytology domains.
