Neural network of the effusion cytology.

Author and year	Number of cases	Study design	Comments
Truong et al.[34] 1995	112 cases	ANN model was made based on the densitometric and morphometric data of the cells	ANN showed 95.3%, sensitivity of 85.7%, specificity
Barwad et al.[35] 2012	114 cases	ANN model was designed as 25-2-1 (25 input nodes-2 hidden nodes-1 output node). Cytological features, image morphometric data were used to make an input nodes	ANN identified correctly all the malignant cases
