ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for analyzing the cell objects of a cell sample for the diagnosis and treatment of possible cancer is disclosed. An optical image of the cell sample is digitized and stored in a frame buffer. The digital image is then displayed on a video monitor. The apparatus can automatically select cell objects from the sample for analysis. Also, an operator can influence the selection of cell objects by manipulating a computer pointing device (mouse) to draw lines on the displayed image. When a line is drawn through a cell object, the cell object can be separated into portions for analysis. When a line is drawn around a region of interest in the image, the region of interest can be separately analyzed to the exclusion of the rest of the image.
