Kavita Nanda,Douglas C McCrory,Evan R. Myers,Lori A. Bastian,Vic Hasselblad,Jason D. Hickey,David B. Matchar +6 more
TL;DR: A primary objective was to systematically review the characteristics of conventional and new methods of Pap testing, including neural network computerized imaging of Papanicolaou smear slides, and one that uses neural networks.

Kavita Nanda,Douglas C McCrory,Evan R. Myers,Lori A. Bastian,Vic Hasselblad,Jason D. Hickey,David B. Matchar +6 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis reviewed articles comparing Pap testing with a reference standards, such as histology, colposcopy, repeat cytology, or combinations these techniques, to calculate indices of accuracy and concluded that a single smear should not be relied on to determine the presence or absence of disease.
