Digital Imaging and AI Pre-classification in Hematology.

A leukocyte differential of peripheral blood can be performed using digital imaging coupled with cellular pre-classification by artificial neural networks. Platelet and erythrocyte morphology can be assessed and counts estimated. Systems from a single vendor have been used in clinical practice for several years, with other vendors' systems, in a development. These systems perform comparably to traditional manual optical microscopy, however, it is important to note that they are designed and intended to be operated by a trained morphologist. These systems have several benefits including increased standardization, efficiency, and remote-review capability.
