  • Title: Computer-assisted analysis of the oral brush biopsy.
    Author: Svirsky JA, Burns JC, Page DG, Abbey LM.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2001 Feb; 22(2):99-102, 104, 106; quiz 108. PubMed ID: 11911069.
    Abstract:
    Computer-assisted analysis of the oral brush biopsy is a recently introduced tool that determines the significance of an oral lesion. The oral brush biopsy is minimally invasive, requires no anesthesia, and definitively distinguishes benign from precancerous and cancerous lesions. Oral brush biopsy specimens are analyzed with the aid of a highly specialized neural network-based computer system specifically designed to detect oral epithelial precancerous and cancerous cells.
