Embodiment Construction

[0031] The following disclosure describes the invention in terms of several embodiments directed to methods, systems and devices related to analyzing digital holographic microscopy (DHM) for hematology and other clinical applications. Briefly, the techniques discussed herein include three principle ideas that can be applied in different configurations in the various embodiments described herein. First, in some embodiments, red blood cell (RBC) volume estimation is performed using parametric modeling of red blood cells to regularize the raw DHM data to match the physical model of RBCs, in an attempt to eliminate any distortion. Second, in certain embodiments, label-free differentiation of white blood cells (WBCs) captured by the DHM is performed using a machine learning algorithm Collection of training sample DHM images of granulocytes, basophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils) to extract characteristic topological changes. The machine learning algorithm then automatically classif...

Abstract

A method for analyzing digital holographic microscopy (DHM) data for hematology applications includes receiving a plurality of DHM images acquired using a digital holographic microscopy system. One or more connected components are identified in each of the plurality of DHM images and one or more training white blood cell images are generated from the one or more connected components. A classifier is trained to identify a plurality of white blood cell types using the one or more training white blood cell images. The classifier may be applied to a new white blood cell image to determine a plurality of probability values, each respective probability value corresponding to one of the plurality of white blood cell types. The new white blood cell image and the plurality of probability values may then be presented in a graphical user interface.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 012,636, filed June 16, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to analytical digital holographic microscopy (DHM) for hematology applications. The various systems, methods, and devices described herein may find application in, for example, red blood cell (RBC) volume measurement and white blood cell (WBC) differential (cell type classification) applications. Background technique [0004] Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) (also known as interferometric phase microscopy) is an imaging technique that provides the ability to quantitatively track subnanometer-scale optical thickness changes in transparent samples. Unlike traditional digital microscopy, where only intensity (amplitude) information about the sample is captured, DHM captures both phase a...
