Summary : Schistocytes result from red cell fragmentation. The identification of the schistocytes is critical for decisions on appropriate management of the patients. Currently, a systematic approach to the counting method remains rewarded. We programmed a computer image analysis device (Q-Win, Leica) in order to detect fragmented red cells. A good correlation between the computer and a well-trained biologist was found after minor modifications of the computer's results. Image analysis should reduced the biologist-to-biologist variation and improve the identification and enumeration of the schistocytes. |
Keywords : Schizocytes - Image analysis. |
