A deep learning method for counting white blood cells in bone marrow images

Abstract Background Differentiating and counting various types of white blood cells (WBC) in bone marrow smears allows the detection of infection, anemia, and leukemia or analysis of a process of treatment. However, manually locating, identifying, and counting the different classes of WBC is time-co...
