Investigation of the Properties of Digital Chromosome Microscopy Images for the Telemedicine Applications

EasyChair Preprint 6548

Abstract

Deep cytogenetic examination of chromosomes properties is very specialized test that can be performed only in some scientific laboratories. Many problems occurred with sending the cytohistological micro preparations to laboratories of other countries because of COVID-19 pandemic. The only one way was available – to use telecommunication systems and send digital images of micro preparations to laboratories for their analysis in the limited time.  Due to technical features of digital images of microslides, their informative value can vary significantly. Subjective and qualitative estimations of the parameters of microobjects are also a significant factor, which leads to decreasing the accuracy of laboratory diagnostics and complicating the repeatability of the results in scientific research. The aim of this article is to investigate the chromosome image parameters that carry the fullest informative value out of the images.

Keyphrases: Chromosome Analysis, Digital microscopy system, image processing, microscopic preparation
