Article Synopsis
- Early detection of oral cancer requires a minimally invasive diagnostic tool for effective screening, and this study evaluates a tele-cytology system combined with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for improved diagnosis of potentially malignant oral lesions.
- The portable, tablet-based tele-cytology platform, Cellscope, demonstrated an accuracy of 84-86% in detecting oral lesions, with improvements seen when integrating image processing and a risk stratification model, resulting in a significant increase in sensitivity for malignant lesions to 93%.
- This research highlights the potential of tele-cytology and ANN-based analysis as valuable tools for remote, accurate diagnosis and early screening of oral cancer, making it a promising Point-of-Care solution.
