Automated medical imaging framework revolutionizes schistosomiasis diagnosis.

Caption

Microscopy is the WHO reference standard for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis. Toward the development of field-adaptable, rapid, and easy-to-use automated diagnosis, samples obtained from field settings in Nigeria were captured using the Schistoscope device, then experts manually annotated the images to create the S. haematobium dataset.
