Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a subtype of acute leukemia, which is characterized by the accumulation of myeloid blasts in the bone marrow. Careful microscopic examination of stained blood smear or bone marrow aspirate is still the most significant diagnostic methodology for initial AML screening and considered as the first step toward diagnosis. It is time-consuming and due to the elusiv...

Classification of medical imagery is a difficult and challenging process due to the intricacy of the images and lack of models of the anatomy that totally captures the probable distortions in each structure. Cervical cancer is one of the major causes of death among other types of the cancers in women worldwide. Proper and timely diagnosis can prevent the life to some level. Consequently we have...

Analysis of microscopic medical images is an important interdisciplinary problem involving both physicians and computer scientists. One of the important and active areas of research is the problem of counting blood cells (CBC) [12] which is used as screening test to check such disorders as infections, allergies, problems with clotting, and it helps diagnosing and managing a large number of dise...

background and objectives: the aim of this study was to compare direct microscopic examination with culture and pcr for the diagnosis of mucorales infection in blood and tissue specimens. material and methods: blood samples and tissue specimens were obtained from 28 patients (total 58 samples) with suspected invasive fungal infection and cultured on proper media. direct smear of tissue samples ...

Background The examination, counting, and classification of white blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, are essential processes in the diagnosis many disorders, including leukemia, a kind cancer characterized by uncontrolled proliferation carcinogenic leukocytes marrow bone. Blood smears can be chemically or microscopically studied to better understand hematological diseases disorders. ...

The effects of CCD readout smear on images acquired with a Frame Transfer type sensor are well understood. Manufacturers try to minimise the problem with ever increasing readout clock rates, and consequently the smear effect is of level low enough as to not be visually noticeable. However, when images are acquired for scientific purposes, such as phase determination of a time varying image, thi...
