Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for transforming image data of a body fluid or tissue sample into non-image data, the method comprising: creating first, second and third image data sets representing images from a body fluid or tissue sample that has been treated with a first reagent that generates a first signal, a second reagent that generates a second signal, and a third reagent that generates a third signal, respectively; and determining second and third image data sets positionally found within said first image data set; probing said second and third image data sets, found within said first image data set, to detect said second and said third signals indicative of said first and said second diagnostic conditions related to said rare cell; and outputting data describing said first, second and third signal(s).
