ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the capacity of the Sweden CellaVision DM96 automatic digital cell morphology analysis sys‐tem (DM96) in nucleated cell classification of serous cavity effusion .Methods 36 specimens of serous cavity effusion were selected from the inpatients of Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University in March 2015 and performed the Wright staining by the two kinds of method ,the Japanese Sysmex SP‐1000Ⅰ automatic smearing machine and manual smearing ,after staining ,the smear was performed the nucleated cells classification by DM96 .The consistency and relevance of the classification results by DM 96 with those by the Sysmex XT‐4000i were calculated .Results The classification results by DM96 had better consistency with the results by XT‐4000i ,moreover the cell images taking by DM96 were clear with high automatic degree .Conclusion The DM96 auto‐mated digital nucleated cell morphology analysis system is reliable and effective ,and has a significance for improving the cellular morphological analysis of serous cavity effusion specimen .
