Method and device for detecting circulating abnormal cells

Abstract

A method and device for detecting circulating abnormal cells. The method for detecting the circulating abnormal cells comprises: respectively segmenting and labelling, by using an image processing algorithm and a morphological algorithm, cell nuclei included in dark field microscope images of a plurality of probe channels (); inputting the dark field microscope images, in which cell nuclei are labelled, of the plurality of probe channels into a pre-built circulating abnormal cell detection model to acquire the number of staining signals included in each labelled cell nucleus in the dark field microscope image of each probe channel (); and for each labelled cell nucleus, on the basis of the number of the staining signals included in the labelled cell nucleus in the acquired dark field microscope image of each probe channel, determining whether the labelled cell nucleus belongs to a circulating abnormal cell (). The method can effectively improve the reliability of detecting the circulating abnormal cells.
