Final Dataset Curation
Our robust methodology for dataset curation ensured high-quality, diagnostically relevant images from 184 dogs and 260 lymph nodes. Patient-level splitting and 10-fold cross-validation were crucial for generalizability.
| Metric | LSA vs. RLH (Best Model) | B-cell vs. T-cell LSA (Best Model) |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | 0.954 | 0.743 |
| Balanced Accuracy | 0.954 | 0.696 |
| Sensitivity (Recall) | 0.950 | 0.607 |
| Specificity | 0.958 | 0.786 |
| AUC-ROC | 0.982 | 0.741 |
While the model excelled in distinguishing LSA from RLH, phenotyping B-cell vs. T-cell LSA showed moderate performance, highlighting the inherent cytomorphological similarity and the challenges in image-only differentiation.
Clinical Triage of Suspected Lymphoma
Scenario: A veterinary clinic receives a fine needle aspirate from a dog with suspected lymphadenomegaly. Traditional cytology takes 24 hours for a definitive diagnosis. With our AI model, an initial triage can be performed within minutes.
Challenge: Rapidly distinguish reactive hyperplasia from aggressive lymphoma to guide immediate patient management and further diagnostics.
Solution: The deep learning model provides a rapid assessment, achieving 95.4% accuracy in LSA vs. RLH differentiation. This allows for quicker decision-making for ancillary tests like PARR or flow cytometry, or even initial therapy. If the AI flags a high probability of LSA, the vet can expedite further steps.
Outcome: Improved diagnostic turnaround time by up to 70%, leading to earlier intervention and enhanced patient outcomes. Facilitates optimal resource allocation in busy clinics.
AI-assisted cytology can significantly reduce diagnostic turnaround times, empowering veterinarians to make more informed decisions faster, particularly in clinics with limited access to specialized pathology services.
