This manuscript presents a full validation of MetaSystems' automated acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear microscopy scanning and deep-learning-based image analysis module using a probability threshold of 96% including accuracy, precision studies, and evaluation of limit of AFB detection on respiratory samples when the technology is used with assistance. This study is complementary to the conversation started by Tomasello et al. on the use of image analysis artificial intelligence software in routine mycobacterial diagnostic activities within the context of high-throughput laboratories with low incidence of tuberculosis.
