Improving Diagnosis of Cervical Pre-Cancer: Combination of PCA and SVM Applied on Fluorescence Lifetime Images

Abstract: We report a significant improvement in the diagnosis of cervical cancer through a combined application of principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM) on the average fluorescence decay profile of Fluorescence Lifetime Images (FLI) of epithelial hyperplasia (EH) and CIN-I cervical tissue samples, obtained ex-vivo. The fast and slow components of double exponential fitted fluorescence lifetimes were found to be higher for EH compared to the lifetimes of CIN-I samples. Application of PCA to… Show more

“…The combined application of PCA and SVM was reported in previous studies for the classification of groups with high dimensionality. 23,24 The prepared SVM model was evaluated for its ability to classify the spectra from tumor and normal tissues based on several parameters, including a ROC curve. Table S2 provides a summary of the evaluation results.…”

“…Most recently, FLIM classifiers have been applied in vitro for label-free assessment of microglia 86 and T-cell activation, 87 as well as for exogenous labeling of intracellular components 88 and monitoring of intracellular pharmacokinetics. 89 In addition, ML classifiers have been used for FLIM-based tissue discrimination and characterization in applications including diagnosis of cervical precancer, 90 breast cancer resection 91 [ Figs. 3(a) – 3(e) ], and oropharyngeal margin assessment.…”

“…In fluorescence spectroscopy, various native fluorophores like NADH, FAD, collagen, and porphyrins, present in different layers of tissue, are targeted with a particular excitation wavelength (ultraviolet or visible) and their respective fluorescence emission is observed in the long wavelength region (visible or near-infrared) [32,33]. The biochemical and morphological changes occurring in the layered tissue structure with the progression of abnormality [34][35][36][37] lead to changes in fluorescence spectral characteristics of different fluorophores. The native fluorescence of the fluorophores is also modulated by various wavelength dependent absorption and scattering present inside the biological tissue.…”
