Fast Pre-Diagnosis of Neoplastic Changes in Cytology Images Using Machine Learning

We present the experiment results to use the YOLOv3 neural network architecture to automatically detect tumor cells in cytological samples taken from the skin in canines. A rich dataset of 1219 smeared sample images with 28,149 objects was gathered and annotated by the vet doctor to perform the experiments. It covers three types of common round cell neoplasms: mastocytoma, histiocytoma, and lymphoma. The dataset has been thoroughly described in...
