Image Segmentation of Ziehl-Neelsen Sputum Slide Images for Tubercle Bacilli Detection
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of death in developing countries and its recent resurgences in both developed and developing countries warrants global attention. Globally, there were an estimated of 9.27 million incident cases of TB in 2007. This is an increase from 9.24 million cases in 2006, 8.3 million cases in 2000 and 6.6 million cases in 1990. Most of the estimated num...
متن کاملSegmentation of sputum smear images for detection of tuberculosis bacilli
Background Tuberculosis (TB) is a common and lethal infectious disease, which requires accurate and early diagnosis for effective containment. Essential for the diagnosis of pulmonary infection is the detection of the bacilli through the manual microscopic examination of ZN-stained sputum smear, which is a time-consuming, complex process necessitating at least 8-10 minutes per slide. Moreover, ...
متن کاملAutomated detection of tuberculosis in Ziehl-Neelsen-stained sputum smears using two one-class classifiers.
Screening for tuberculosis in high-prevalence countries relies on sputum smear microscopy. We present a method for the automated identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in images of Ziehl-Neelsen-stained sputum smears obtained using a bright-field microscope. We use two stages of classification. The first comprises a one-class pixel classifier for object segmentation. Geometric transformat...
متن کاملComparison of variants of carbol-fuchsin solution in Ziehl-Neelsen for detection of acid-fast bacilli.
To evaluate Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining using variants of carbol-fuchsin solution, duplicate smears from 416 samples were stained with ZN, one set with 1% basic fuchsin and the other 0.3%. Another set of duplicate smears from 398 samples were stained with ZN, one with 1% basic fuchsin and the other 0.1%. The coded smears were read and discrepancies resolved. All samples underwent mycobacterial ...
متن کاملAutothresholding Segmentation for Tuberculosis Bacteria Identification in the Ziehl-neelsen Sputum Sample
Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health issue in this world. In 1992, World Health Organization (WHO) has determined tuberculosis as Global Emergency. The caused of tuberculosis disease is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteria is bar shaped and has the quality of acid fast so that it’s also called as Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB). In this research, an algorithm to identifying and counting...
