Leukemia Detection using Image Processing

V. Venmathi, K. N. Shobana, Akshaya Kumar, D. Gajeshwaran

Abstract


Leukemia is a type of cancer which causes death among human. Only its detection and diagnosis helps to increase its cure rate. Presently, identification of cancer cells or blood disorders is by inspecting the microscopic images visually. This is done by analyzing the variations in texture, geometry, colour and statistical analysis of images. This paper describes various feature extraction techniques that can be used to detect leukemia using microscopic blood sample images. Image analysis plays an important in this method. Here first the cell biology basics are discussed and then the implementation of our proposed technique is carried out. Since our aim is to provide the cheapest method, only images are used. The tool we have used for the detection of cancer cells is MATLAB.
