CAROLINA, Puerto Rico, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CorePlus, a leading precision pathology organization in Puerto Rico, has announced the publication of a landmark study validating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and whole slide imaging (WSI) as a 100% quality control (QC) tool in cervical cytology workflows. The study was published in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Cancer Cytopathology, underscoring its scientific rigor and clinical relevance.

Revolutionizing Cytology with AI and Digital Pathology

As digital pathology continues to advance into the field of cytopathology, laboratories are exploring alternatives to traditional manual microscopy screening. CorePlus evaluated the performance of the Techcyte SureView™ system—specifically designed for digital cytopathology—on 1,442 digitized slides from ThinPrep® and SurePath™ cervical cytology samples.

The slides were scanned using the 3DHISTECH P1000 DX scanner under both dry and water immersion scanning profiles. A board-certified cytopathologist reviewed AI-identified objects of interest and compared them to results obtained through traditional light microscopy.

Outstanding Results and Operational Efficiency

The study demonstrated that the SureView™ system using the water immersion profile significantly outperformed both dry scanning and manual microscopy in detecting squamous and glandular abnormalities. Key performance metrics included:

  • 97% accuracy
  • 82% sensitivity
  • 99% specificity
  • 98% negative predictive value
  • 86% positive predictive value

In addition to its high diagnostic performance, the AI-assisted system considerably reduced review times and improved overall workflow efficiency.

A New Standard for Quality Control in Cervical Cytology

Following successful validation, CorePlus has fully integrated the Techcyte SureView™ system as a 100% QC tool in its laboratory operations. This marks a major step forward in adopting digital and AI technologies to enhance diagnostic accuracy, laboratory efficiency, and patient care.

“We have been able to achieve an unprecedented level of consistency and confidence in cervical cytology screening, every PAP Counts!” Mariano de Socarraz, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at CorePlus. “Our team is proud to contribute to the advancement of digital pathology and demonstrate its real-world clinical impact.”
