20140139625 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING AND/OR CLASSIFYING CANCEROUS CELLS IN A CELL SAMPLE - The current invention concerns a method for detecting cancerous cells and/or classifying cells in a cell sample comprising the following steps: providing a cell sample; obtaining holographic information from said cell sample by digital holographic microscopy (DHM); deriving at least one cellular parameter from said holographic information, and; classifying said cells of cells sample; characterized in that said classification occurs by appointing a Scoring Factor to said cells of cell sample, based on said cellular parameters. In a second aspect, a system for the detection of cancerous cells and/or classification of cells in a cell sample is provided, employing the method as disclosed in the invention. In a final aspect, a method for updating and/or improving a database comprising thresholds linked to holographic information and the database related thereof is equally disclosed. | 05-22-2014 |
20140193850 | HOLOGRAPHIC METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CYTOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTICS - The present invention discloses a method for analyzing a liquid cell sample, comprising the steps of: a) providing at least one liquid cell sample in a sample vial; b) obtaining data linked to the cells in the sample by performing differential digital holographic microscopy on said liquid cell sample in said sample vial. In a second aspect, the invention also provides for a system for analyzing a liquid cell sample, comprising (i) a differential digital holographic microscope comprising illumination means, a differential interferometer and a digital recording device connected to a processing device such as a computer; (ii) at least one exchangeable sample vial comprising a liquid cell (iii) a movable sample vial holder; characterized in that (iv) said sample vial holder is adapted to receive said sample vial; (v) said sample vial holder is adapted to position said sample vial such that the focal plane of the objective lens of said differential digital holographic microscope lies in the vial. | 07-10-2014 |
20140195568 | OBJECT DATABASE AND OBJECT DATABASE IMPROVING METHOD - The current invention concerns an object database comprising a set of object entries, which comprise object properties, whereby said object properties comprise obtained object properties, which comprise DHM-obtained object properties and preferably object identification properties, characterized in that said DHM-obtained object properties comprise properties about a sample comprising said objects, said information derived from information acquired by a digital holographic microscope (DHM) and whereby preferably said object identification properties comprise information about the objects which allow identification of the object between the object database and an database. The invention furthermore discloses an object database updating method and a computing system comprising an object database and object database updating method as disclosed in the current invention. | 07-10-2014 |
