Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Urine is the most common material tested in clinical microbiology laboratories. Automated analysis is already performed, permitting quicker results and decreasing the laboratory technologist's (LT) workload. These automatic systems have introduced digital imaging concepts. PhenoMATRIX (PHM) is an artificial intelligence software that merges picture algorithms and user rules to provide presumptive results. This study aimed at designing a tailored workflow using PHM, performing its validation and checking its performance in routine practice.
