Development of a Robust Algorithm for Detection of Nuclei and Classification of White Blood Cells in Peripheral Blood Smear Images.

Journal of medical systems
Peripheral Blood Smear analysis plays a vital role in diagnosis of many diseases such as leukemia, anemia, malaria, lymphoma and infections. Unusual variations in color, shape and size of blood cells indicate abnormal condition. We used a total of 11...

Computer Aided Solution for Automatic Segmenting and Measurements of Blood Leucocytes Using Static Microscope Images.

Journal of medical systems
Blood leucocytes segmentation in medical images is viewed as difficult process due to the variability of blood cells concerning their shape and size and the difficulty towards determining location of Blood Leucocytes. Physical analysis of blood tests...

Leukocyte Image Segmentation Using Novel Saliency Detection Based on Positive Feedback of Visual Perception.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This paper presents a novel method for salient object detection in nature image by simulating microsaccades in fixational eye movements. Due to a nucleated cell usually stained that is salient obviously, the proposed method is suitable to segment nuc...

Monitoring bottlenose dolphin leukocyte cytokine mRNA responsiveness by qPCR.

PloS one
Both veterinarians caring for dolphins in managed populations and researchers monitoring wild populations use blood-based diagnostics to monitor bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) health. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) can be used to assess cytokine tr...

In vitro effects of virgin microplastics on fish head-kidney leucocyte activities.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Microplastics are well-documented pollutants in the marine environment that result from production or fragmentation of larger plastic items. The knowledge about the direct effects of microplastics on immunity, including fish, is still very limited. W...

White blood cells identification system based on convolutional deep neural learning networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: White blood cells (WBCs) differential counting yields valued information about human health and disease. The current developed automated cell morphology equipments perform differential count which is based on blood smear im...

Convolutional neural network-based malaria diagnosis from focus stack of blood smear images acquired using custom-built slide scanner.

Journal of biophotonics
The present paper introduces a focus stacking-based approach for automated quantitative detection of Plasmodium falciparum malaria from blood smear. For the detection, a custom designed convolutional neural network (CNN) operating on focus stack of i...

Computerized detection of leukocytes in microscopic leukorrhea images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Detection of leukocytes is critical for the routine leukorrhea exam, which is widely used in gynecological examinations. An elevated vaginal leukocyte count in women with bacterial vaginosis is a strong predictor of vaginal or cervical infec...

Automatic detection and classification of leukocytes using convolutional neural networks.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The detection and classification of white blood cells (WBCs, also known as Leukocytes) is a hot issue because of its important applications in disease diagnosis. Nowadays the morphological analysis of blood cells is operated manually by skilled opera...

A new thresholding technique based on fuzzy set as an application to leukocyte nucleus segmentation.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The main aim of this paper is to segment leukocytes in blood smear images using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs). Generally, uncertainties occur in terms of vagueness through brightness levels of image. Pr...
