Objective:

To clarify the methodology regarding the reference standard used in the study on AI-driven cystoscopy.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • The final consensus diagnosis was based on both expert review and source-provided diagnostic information.
    • The study aimed to evaluate model-generated cystoscopic interpretation rather than revalidate original pathological diagnoses.
    Interpretation:

    Histopathology remains the definitive standard for pathological lesion classification.

    Limitations:
    • The study does not independently re-establish or revalidate the original pathological diagnosis of each image.
    Conclusion:

    The study serves as an image interpretation and reasoning benchmark based on pre-existing diagnostic information.
