Tryp: a dataset of microscopy images of unstained thick blood smears for trypanosome detection.

Trypanosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease (NTD), challenges communities in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. The World Health Organization underscores the need for practical, field-adaptable diagnostics and rapid screening tools to address the negative impact of NTDs. While artificial intelligence has shown promising results in disease screening, the lack of curated datasets impedes progress.

Single-cell conventional pap smear image classification using pre-trained deep neural network architectures.

Background: Automating cytology-based cervical cancer screening could alleviate the shortage of skilled pathologists in developing countries. Up until now, computer vision experts have attempted numerous semi and fully automated approaches to address the need. Yet, these days, leveraging the astonishing accuracy and reproducibility of deep neural networks has become common among computer vision experts.

Modified U-Net for liver cancer segmentation from computed tomography images with a new class balancing method.

Background: Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. It is mostly diagnosed with a computed tomography scan. Nowadays deep learning methods have been used for the segmentation of the liver and its tumor from the computed tomography (CT) scan images.

Quantitative analysis of blood cells from microscopic images using convolutional neural network.

Blood cell count provides relevant clinical information about different kinds of disorders. Any deviation in the number of blood cells implies the presence of infection, inflammation, edema, bleeding, and other blood-related issues. Current microscopic methods used for blood cell counting are very tedious and are highly prone to different sources of errors.
