Automated counting of white blood cells in synovial fluid.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of automated leucocyte (white blood cell; WBC) counting by comparison with manual counting. METHODS The number of WBC was determined in heparinized synovial fluid samples by the use of (i) a standard urine cytometer (Kova) and a microscope (reference method) and (ii) a haematology analyser (Sysmex XE-2100; WBC/BASO and DIFF channels). Imprecision within ...
متن کاملWhite Blood Cells Identification and Counting from Microscopic Blood Image
The counting and analysis of blood cells allows the evaluation and diagnosis of a vast number of diseases. In particular, the analysis of white blood cells (WBCs) is a topic of great interest to hematologists. Nowadays the morphological analysis of blood cells is performed manually by skilled operators. This involves numerous drawbacks, such as slowness of the analysis and a nonstandard accurac...
متن کاملA method for counting monosodium urate crystals in synovial fluid.
This study was aimed to standardize the technique for counting monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in the synovial fluid (SF) of patients with gout. A total of 52 SF specimens were examined under a polarized light microscope. The amount of SF ranged between 0.1 and 45 mL (median 3 mL). MSU crystals were counted in four areas with the same size at 400x magnification. Cytological examination of the s...
متن کاملextracting, recognizing, and counting white blood cells from microscopic figures by using complex-valued neural networks
in this paper we present a method related to extracting white blood cells (wbcs) from blood microscopic figures and recognizing them and counting each kind of wbcs. in this method, first we extract the white blood cells from other blood cells by rgb color system's help. in continuance, by using the features of each kind of globules and their color scheme, we extract a normalized feature vector,...
متن کاملAutomated counting of nucleated red blood cells in blood samples of newborns.
Nucleated red blood cells (NRBC) in blood samples interfere with the white blood cell (WBC) count on many types of automated haematology analysers. This makes it necessary to correct the WBC count by counting NRBC microscopically. This report describes the evaluation of two analysers, the Cell-Dyn 4000 and the Sysmex XE-2100, which use new techniques to recognize and enumerate NRBC. We conclude...
