At a medical symposium held on the morning of December 20, healthcare experts announced positive outcomes from integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into cervical cancer screening protocols. This initiative aims to enhance preventive effectiveness and support the healthcare system in managing women’s health.
performance and technological accuracy The AI system employs advanced algorithms to analyze images, minimizing errors caused by subjective human factors. Clinical data indicates:
- Sensitivity: Over 98% for high-risk lesions.
- Specificity: Maintained at approximately 95%.
- Reliability: These metrics are considered equivalent to traditional cytology tests, ensuring that pathological cases are not overlooked.
optimization of procedures and costs Compared to conventional screening methods that typically take one to three weeks for results, AI technology offers a breakthrough in both speed and economics:
- Time: Patients can receive results in about 5 minutes, allowing for the completion of examination and consultation within a single hospital visit.
- Cost: The procedure fee is around 320,000 VND, significantly lower than HPV testing or liquid-based cytology.
potential for widespread implementation This method is recommended for women aged 21 to 65. Due to its simplified operational process, the technology is suitable not only for leading hospitals but also for local healthcare facilities, remote areas, or island communes. Currently, in addition to Ho Chi Minh City, this solution has been deployed at several medical facilities in Can Tho, expanding access to high-quality healthcare for a broader population.
