The invention discloses a flow measurement
system for detecting
tumor cells and an analysis and monitoring method. The
system comprises a sample steam formed by enriched cells, a sample
stream chamber for storing the sample
stream, a sheath tube for storing a sheath fluid, a coherent excitation
light beam intersecting with the sample
stream, a
scattered light receiving objective lens portion for measuring a coherent scattering
light beam having a central scattering angle from excited cells, a light splitting and filtering portion, an imaging measurement and data output portion, an
image processing circuit, a computer portion and a display portion. The method comprises the following steps of: preparing an enriched
cell suspension from a blood or
lymph sample, generating coherent scattering light signals, collecting corresponding
diffraction image data of different wavelengths and polarizations and transmitting the data into the
image storage and
processing unit in the computer, extracting
image pattern characteristics, determining the positions of the detected cells in the
diffraction image characteristic parameter vector
sample space, and displaying and outputting the corresponding
statistical analysis results. The
system and method can rapidly and accurately classify a large amount of cells to achieve the purpose of detecting
tumor cells.
