Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying the predicted type of one or more microorganisms. In one aspect, a system comprises a phase-contrast microscope and a microorganism classification system. The phase-contrast microscope is configured to generate a three-dimensional quantitative phase image of one or more microorganisms. The microorganism classification system is configured to process the three-dimensional quantitative phase image using a neural network to generate a neural network output characterizing the microorganisms, and thereafter identify the predicted type of the microorganisms using the neural network output.

Identifying microorganisms using three-dimensional quantitative phase imaging

A non-label diagnosis apparatus for a hematologic malignancy may include a 3-D refractive index cell imaging unit configured to generate a 3-D refractive index slide image of a blood smear specimen by capturing a 3-D refractive index image in the form of the blood smear specimen in which blood (including a bone-marrow or other body fluids) of a patient has been smeared on a slide glass, an ROI detection unit configured to sample a suspected cell segment in the blood smear specimen based on the 3-D refractive index slide image and to determine, as ROI patches, cells determined as abnormal cells, and a diagnosis unit configured to determine a sub-classification of a cancer cell corresponding to each of the ROI patches using a cancer cell sub-classification determination model constructed based on a deep learning algorithm and to generate hematologic malignancy diagnosis results by gathering sub-classification results of the ROI patches.
