It publishes articles in spanish and english and is aimed at academics, researchers and professionals interested in the subspecialties of Biomedical Engineering.</p> <p><strong>INDEXES</strong></p> <p><em>La Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Biomédica</em> is a quarterly publication, and it is found in the following indexes:</p> <p><img src="https://www.rmib.mx/public/site/images/administrador/índices_y_repositorios_(1100_×_1000 px).jpg" /></p> </center> en-US <p>Upon acceptance of an article in the RMIB, corresponding authors will be asked to fulfill and sign the copyright and the journal publishing agreement, which will allow the RMIB authorization to publish this document in any media without limitations and without any cost.

This complexity increases the risk of misidentification, potentially leading to false positives in computer-assisted diagnosis. To address this issue, this study introduces a novel approach by developing and evaluating a framework for the precise segmentation of nuclei and cytoplasm in cervical cell images using a cGAN-based model, Pix2Pix, applied to a dataset validated by specialists. The generated images are compared with target images, converted to binary, and an AND operation is performed to evaluate pixel overlap in the areas of interest. The evaluation metrics highlight a segmentation accuracy of 88.8 % and sensitivity of 89.62 % for nuclei, while for cytoplasm, precision reached 89.62 % and sensitivity 99.34 %. The Jaccard indices were 80.89 % for nuclei and 96.71 % for cytoplasm. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in segmenting nuclei and cytoplasm in cervical cells.</p> </div> </div> </div> Francisco Javier Castro Cortés, Carlos Eric Galván Tejada, Erika Acosta Cruz, José María Celaya Padilla Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Mexicana de Ingenieria Biomedica https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ https://rmib.mx/index.php/rmib/article/view/1462 Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000
