Evaluation of the Hologic Genius Digital Diagnostics System for clinical use in Papanicolaou test interpretation: a validation study of 1748 cases.
An AI system reads cervical cancer screening tests with 98.5% accuracy, matching established methods and clearing a path for clinical use.
The Hologic Genius AI digital pathology system demonstrated 98.5% concordance with the established ThinPrep system for Pap test interpretation in 1748 cases at Cleveland Clinic, meeting the validation threshold for clinical implementation. Discordances were primarily low-cellularity cases rather than missed high-grade abnormalities, supporting clinical deployment of AI-assisted cervical cancer screening.
