In addition, urine cytology has poor interobserver reproducibility. In order to reduce the workload of both pathologists and cytotechnologists and to improve the reproducibility and accuracy, there is a great need for tools for urine cytology. Recently, with the advance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology using a convolutional neural network algorithm for image analysis, some studies reported promising results. In urine cytology, image analysis using AI is expected to be a method that not only solves the above mentioned problem but also contributes to reduction in the burden on cytologists and pathologists. In this study, we developed AI for automated urine cell image analysis using a deep learning model in collaboration with Kyocera Communication System Co., Ltd. and Rist Co., Ltd. METHODS: We collected a total of 195 consecutive urine samples which were obtained from patients eventually histologically diagnosed with urothelial cancer in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2017. The urine samples was classified as inadequate in 1 sample (0.5%), negative for high grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) in 77 samples (39.5%), atypical urothelial cells in 36 samples (18.5%), suspicious for HGUC in 17 samples (8.7%) and malignant in 64 cases (32.8%) which equivalent to HGUC, low-grade urothelial neoplasm, and other malignancies according to The Paris System. Histological grading were low grade in 90 cases (46.2%) and high grade in 105 cases (53.8%). Two experienced cytotechnologists independently evaluated urine cytology slides, and 4637 cell images whose cell evaluation between 2 observers were concordant were collected. 3128 benign cells were labeled as negative cells and 398 atypical cells and 1111 malignant cells were labeled as positive. The labeled dataset was used as ground truth. We developed a convolutional neural network algorithm which classify a cell image into positive or negative, and split the dataset into 80% for training and validation, and 20% for test data. After 5-Fold cross validation, the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the binary classification model. RESULTS: The area under the ROC curve was 0.984, the average accuracy was 0.943, the sensitivity was 92.0%, and the specificity was 95.7%. CONCLUSIONS: We developed urine cell image analysis algorithm performing highly accurate result. The algorithm can be useful to assist cytotechnologists and pathologists.
