Spectroscopic Detection of Cervical Pre-Cancer through Radial Basis Function Networks. K. Tumer, N. Ramanujam, R. Richards-Kortum, and J. Ghosh. In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems - 9, pp. 981–987, M.I.T. Press, 1997.

Abstract

The mortality related to cervical cancer can be substantially reduced through early detection and treatment. However, current detection techniques, such as Pap smear and colposcopy, fail to achieve a concurrently high sensitivity and specificity. In vivo fluorescence spectroscopy is a technique which quickly, non-invasively and quantitatively probes the biochemical and morphological changes that occur in pre-cancerous tissue. RBF ensemble algorithms based on such spectra provide automated, and near real-time implementation of pre-cancer detection in the hands of non-experts. The results are more reliable, direct and accurate than those achieved by either human experts or multivariate statistical algorithms.
