Blood cell classification is a recent topic for scientists working on the diagnosis of blood cell related illnesses. As the number of computer vision (CV) applications is increasing to improve quality of human life, it spreads in the areas of autonomous drive, surveillance, robotic applications, telecommunications and etc. The number of CV applications also increases in the medical sector due the decreasing value of doctors per patient ratio (DPPR) in urban and suburban areas. A doctor working in such areas sometimes would have to interpret thousands of patients' test results in a day. This condition would result disadvantages such as false diagnosis on patients and break on working motivations for doctors. Some of the tests would probably be interpreted using an application developed by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Tests related to blood cells are examined for the patients as a starting point of diagnosis and information obtained about their abnormalities give doctors a preliminary idea about the illnesses. This article issues generation of a CV application that would be used as an assistant of doctors who have domain expertise. The article issues segmentation of blood cells, classification of red and white blood cells containing 6 types such as erythrocyte, lymphocyte, platelets, neutrophil, monocytes and eosinophils using the segmentation results. It also discusses about a method for detection of abnormalities on red blood cells (erythrocyte).

Label-free enrichment of MCF7 breast cancer cells from leukocytes using continuous flow dielectrophoresis
Arslan, Zeynep Caglayan; Yalcin, Yagmur Demircan; Külah, Haluk (2022-04-01)
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) present in the bloodstream are strongly linked to the invasive behavior of cancer; therefore, their detection holds great significance for monitoring disease progression. Currently available CTC isolation tools are often based on tumor-specific antigen or cell size approaches. However, these techniques are limited due to the lack of a unique and universal marker for CTCs, and the overlapping size between CTCs and regular blood cells. Dielectrophoresis (DEP), governed by the in...
A New Method Based on Adaptive Discrete Wavelet Entropy Energy and Neural Network Classifier (ADWEENN) for Recognition of Urine Cells from Microscopic Images Independent of Rotation and Scaling
Avcı, Derya; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; POYRAZ, MUSTAFA; DOĞANTEKİN, ESİN (2014-02-01)
So far, analysis and classification of urine cells number has become an important topic for medical diagnosis of some diseases. Therefore, in this study, we suggest a new technique based on Adaptive Discrete Wavelet Entropy Energy and Neural Network Classifier (ADWEENN) for Recognition of Urine Cells from Microscopic Images Independent of Rotation and Scaling. Some digital image processing methods such as noise reduction, contrast enhancement, segmentation, and morphological process are used for feature ext...
Systems-level analysis reveals multiple modulators of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and identifies DNAJB4 and CD81 as novel metastasis inducers in breast cancer

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is driven by complex signaling events that induce dramatic biochemical and morphological changes whereby epithelial cells are converted into cancer cells. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we used mass spectrometry based quantitative proteomics approach to systematically analyze the post-translational biochemical changes that drive differentiation of human mammary epithelial (HMLE) cells into mesenchymal. We identified 314 proteins out...
Characterization and identification of human mesenchymal stem cells at molecular level
Aksoy, Ceren; Severcan, Feride; Çetinkaya, Duygu Uçkan; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are pluripotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues. They also maintain healthy heamatopoiesis by providing supportive cellular microenvironment into BM. In this thesis, MSCs were characterized in terms of their morphological, immunophenotypical and differentiation properties. Then, they were examined by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy together with hierarchical clustering, and FT...
Retinal vessel segmentation using convolutional neural networks
Ulusoy, İlkay (2018-05-05)
Retinal vessel segmentation and extracting features such as tortuosity, width, length related to those vessels can be used in diagnosis, treatment and screening of many diseases such as retinopathy of prematurity, hypertension and diabetes. Therefore, automatic segmentation of vessels by computers will make the analysis of those diseases easier and will help during the screening, diagnosis and treatment processes. In this study, a solution based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) is proposed for automat...
