- Machine learning is changing image processing and analysis, especially in microscopy, by automating tasks and uncovering visual patterns.
- The review examines the importance of data characteristics like quantity and content in choosing the right ML models for microscopy applications.
- It also discusses the uses of ML in cell biology, including data curation and prediction, while addressing challenges and risks, suggesting ways to mitigate them.
Background: Although people with HIV have a markedly higher risk of anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC), there are few evaluations of anal Pap screening determinants within safety-net HIV clinics.
Method: We conducted an evaluation of anal Pap screening correlates within a safety-net HIV clinic in Miami. Medical records were reviewed for 298 people ages 45 and older receiving HIV primary care.
