Automated detection and classification techniques of Acute leukemia using image processing: A review

摘要

Hematological disorders of leukocytes (white blood corpuscles) are very frequent in medical practices. Each year, the number of new cases of leukemia increased with a high mortality rate what can cause a delay in diagnosis and treatment of leukemia. The hematologist faces difficulty in classifying white blood cells included cancerous leukemia cells. Currently, the diagnosis of hematological disorder was made by microscopic analysis of peripheral blood smear by hematological experts. However, this kind of diagnosis is complex, costly process, time-consuming and inherently subjective, hence to avoid such problems a classification technique based on computer vision is required. This document provides a survey of many kinds of literature which talk about leukemia detection using image processing. In this year, many improvements were made in this field. With this document, we provide a new perspective from many kinds of literature so future research can be developed effectively for their research.
