Automated analysis of digital medical images in cervical cancer screening: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical cancer screening programs are poorly implemented in LMICs due to a shortage of specialists and expensive diagnostic infrastructure. To address the barriers of implementation researchers have been developing low-cost portable devices and automating image analysis for decision support.However, as the knowledge base is growing rapidly, progress on the implementation status of novel imaging devices and algorithms in cervical cancer screening has become unclear. The aim of this project was to provide a systematic review summarizing the full range of automated technology systems used in cervical cancer screening.

Method

A search on academic databases was conducted and the search results were screened by two independent reviewers. Study selection was based on el
