Towards Interpretable Classification of Leukocytes based on Deep Learning
Label-free approaches are attractive in cytological imaging due to their flexibility and cost efficiency. They are supported by machine learning methods, which, despite the lack of labeling and the associated lower contrast, can classify cells with high accuracy where the human observer has little chance to discriminate cells. In order to better integrate these workflows into the clinical decision making process, this work investigates the calibration of confidence estimation for the automated classification of leukocytes. In addition, different visual explanation approaches are compared, which should bring machine decision making closer to professional healthcare applications. Furthermore, we were able to identify general detection patterns in neural networks and demonstrate the utility of the presented approaches in different scenarios of blood cell analysis.

Accurate Leukocyte Detection Based on Deformable-DETR and Multi-Level Feature Fusion for Aiding Diagnosis of Blood Diseases
In standard hospital blood tests, the traditional process requires doctors to manually isolate leukocytes from microscopic images of patients' blood using microscopes. These isolated leukocytes are then categorized via a…
A novel algorithm for segmentation of leukocytes in peripheral blood
In the detection of anemia, leukemia and other blood diseases, the number and type of leukocytes are essential evaluation parameters. However, the conventional leukocyte counting method is not only quite time-consuming b…
LeukocyteCount: Automatic Identification and Counting for leukocytes using Deep Learning
Diagnosing and monitoring diseases frequently involves the analysis of human biological samples, with blood analysis being pivotal. Specifically, leukocytes, or white blood cells (WBCs), are essential markers for evaluat…
A Fully Unsupervised Instance Segmentation Technique for White Blood Cell Images
White blood cells, also known as leukocytes are group of heterogeneously nucleated cells which act as salient immune system cells. These are originated in the bone marrow and are found in blood, plasma, and lymph tissues…
