Classification of Leukocytes01:30

Classification of Leukocytes

9.0K
Leukocytes are classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules. Granular leukocytes, which contain granules, belong to the myeloid lineage and are divided into three subtypes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. These cells are roughly spherical and characterized by the granules in their cytoplasm.
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granular leukocytes, comprising 50-70% of all leukocytes. They feature small, evenly distributed granules and a...

Structure and Function of Leukocytes

5.1K
An adult in good health typically has between 4,500 and 11,000 leukocytes, or white blood cells, per microliter of blood, which constitutes about 1% of the total blood volume. Unlike red blood cells, white blood cells contain a nucleus and other cellular organelles but do not have hemoglobin. Most white blood cells reside in connective tissues, particularly in lymphatic organs such as the lymph nodes, with only a small fraction present in circulating blood.
White blood cells protect the body...

Flow Cytometry

13.4K
The development of flow cytometry techniques began in 1934 with initial attempts by Andrew Moldavan, a bacteriologist who counted the cells in a flowing capillary system. Moldavan pumped cells through a capillary tube focused under a microscope for visualization. The invention of photometry allowed the measurement of differentially-stained cells, and Louis Kamentsky developed the first multiparameter flow cytometer in 1965 to identify and count the cancer cells in cervical tissue specimens.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Accurate white blood cell classification is crucial for diagnosing various diseases.
  • Existing methods often face challenges in precise segmentation and feature extraction from smear images.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a new automated system for classifying five types of white blood cells.
  • To introduce an innovative segmentation algorithm for improved white blood cell isolation from images.

Main Methods:

  • A novel segmentation algorithm utilizing the HSI color space to identify discriminating regions of white blood cells.
  • Extraction of geometrical, color, and Local Difference Pattern (LDP)-based texture features from segmented cells.
  • Classification using three distinct neural network models fed with the extracted features.

Main Results:

  • The proposed system achieved a high overall correct recognition rate of 99.11% on a dataset of 450 white blood cell images.
