    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Biology
    • Digital Pathology

    Background:

    • Blood smear evaluation is a crucial clinical test, with a focus on white blood cells (WBCs).
    • Digital image processing offers potential for enhancing WBC analysis and disease diagnosis, such as acute leukemia.
    • Accurate segmentation of WBC components is essential for automated analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel segmentation framework for WBCs.
    • To segment the nucleus and cytoplasm of white blood cells from microscopic images.
    • To assess the accuracy of the proposed segmentation method.

    Main Methods:

    • Integration of multiple digital image processing algorithms into a unified framework.
    • Application of the framework to segment nucleus and cytoplasm in 20 microscopic blood images.
    • Quantitative evaluation of segmentation accuracy for nucleus and cytoplasm.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed framework achieved 92% accuracy for nucleus segmentation.
    • The framework obtained 78% accuracy for cytoplasm segmentation.
    • Successful extraction of nucleus and cytoplasm regions in WBC image samples was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed digital image processing framework effectively segments WBC nucleus and cytoplasm.
    • This automated approach can assist hematologists in blood smear analysis and disease detection.
    • The results highlight the potential of image processing in clinical diagnostics.
