Abstract

A digital microscope plays a crucial role in the better and faster diagnosis of an abnormality using various techniques. There has been significant development in this domain of digital pathology. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that affects hemoglobin in red blood cells. The traditional method for diagnosing sickle cell disease involves preparing a glass slide and viewing the slide using the eyepiece of a manual microscope. The entire process thus becomes very tedious and time consuming. This paper proposes a semi-automated system that can capture images based on a predefined program. It has an XY stage for moving the slide horizontally or vertically and a Z stage for focus adjustments. The case study taken here is of SCD. The proposed hardware captures SCD slides, which are further used to classify them with respect to normal. They are processed using deep learning models such as Darknet-19, ResNet50, ResNet18, ResNet101, and GoogleNet. The tested models demonstrated strong performance, with most achieving high metrics across different configurations varying with an average of around 97%. In the future, this semi-automated system will benefit pathologists and can be used in rural areas, where pathologists are in short supply.
