Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women in spite of the fact that it through screening easily can be detected and cured before it becomes invasive. Current screening procedures are too complex and costly for use in developing countries. TheCerviSCAN project is an attempt to create a automated cervical cancer screening system that will lower the cost and increase the throughput of samples. This paper accounts for the current progress of the project as well as some of the planned future work.
