The clinical application of artificial intelligence assisted blood cell morphological examination should be promoted and expanded / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Morphological examination of blood cells is an important re-examination method of blood cell analysis, and it is also the basis of diagnosis of hematological diseases with cytopathic changes. Artificial intelligence assisted blood cell morphological examinationcan effectively make up for the shortcomings of artificial microscope examination methods, greatly improve the working efficiency of cell morphological examination, solve the problems of manpower shortage and labor intensity to a great extent, obviously improve the repeatability of examination results, facilitate the review of the examination results, and realize remote blood cell morphological examination and diagnosis online. However, at present, the main method of blood cell morphological examination in China is still manual microscope examination. In order to promote and expand the clinical application of artificial intelligence-assisted blood cell morphological examination, the R&D manufacturers and clinical laboratory experts of automatic blood cell morphological analyzer should work together to promote the standardization of automatic blood cell morphological analysis, strengthen its performance evaluation and verification, continuously improve its analytical performance, expand its clinical application scope, and promote the construction of blood cell morphological database in China.
