Patent Searching and Data


Title:
光投影画像システム、および核を有する細胞および疾病に関与する細胞質密度の特徴を自動的に検出する方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005539209
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A system and method for rapidly detecting cells of interest using multi-dimensional, highly quantitative, nuclear and cytoplasmic densitometric features (NDFs and CDFs) includes a flow optical tomography (FOT) instrument capable of generating various optical projection images (or shadowgrams) containing accurate density information from a cell, a computer and software to analyze and reconstruct the projection images into a multi-dimensional data set, and automated feature collection and object classifiers. The system and method are particularly useful in the early detection of cancers such as lung cancer using a bronchial specimen from sputum or cheek scrapings and cervical/ovarian cancer using a cervical scraping, and the system can be used to detect rare cells in specimens including blood.
