Abstract:
:Automated image processing analysis for leukocyte differential counting started 30 years ago principally as a mimic of the traditional microscopic method. Several types of systems were used in the 1970s and 1980s. In the late 1990s, two new image processing systems were developed with new technology for cell image analysis. They possess an intelligent neural network software and can be connected to an Ethernet for telehematologic diagnosis and consultation.
