example

[0298] A pilot diagnostic validation study was performed to test the a priori hypothesis that the non-invasive technique allows for the classification of patients with severe neutropenia (1,500 neutrophils / μL) . Patient population undergoing ASCT after high-dose chemotherapy was registered. The kinetics of neutrophil counts in these patients were predictable because the intensity of chemotherapy applied prior to transplantation ensured passage through the stage of severe neutropenia followed by recovery. In the framework of this study, power analysis was not performed, and a convenience sample of 10 subjects (eg, selected from the initial patient pool) was considered sufficient to test the study hypothesis. Using nonparametric tests as well as ROC curve analysis. All human reviewers analyzing data were blinded, as detailed below.

[0299] A total of 23 patients were recruited, including 16 from Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA, and 7 from La Paz University Ho...

Abstract

A system for non-invasive hematological measurements includes a platform to receive a body portion of a user and an imaging device to acquire a set of images of a capillary bed in the body portion. For each image, a controller detects one or more capillaries in the body portion of the finger to identify a first set of capillaries by estimating one or more attributes of each capillary (e.g., structural attributes, flow attributes, imaging attributes, or combinations thereof), wherein at least one attribute of each capillary meets a predetermined criterion. The controller also identifies a second set of capillaries from the first set of capillaries such that each capillary of the second set of capillaries is visible in a predetermined number of images of the set of images.
