aceScreening efficiency over experience: Rapid target detection in low-power field as a modifiable cognitive biomarker for diagnostic accuracy in digital cytology
Background Traditionally, cytology expertise has been equated with professional experience. However, the transition to whole-slide imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) necessitates a shift from exhaustive screening to rapid verification. The goal of this study was to identify cognitive biomarkers associated with diagnostic accuracy and evaluate their modifiability. Methods In phase 1, 100 cytotechnologists with 1-40 years of experience diagnosed 30 digital cytology images using eye-tracking. Gaze metrics acr…
Gaze-based measures such as shorter fixation predicted cytology accuracy, and a 3-month training program improved students' target detection.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0619 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
