Method And System For Identifying Objects In A Blood Sample

A method comprising:

• generating an image of a bodily fluid sample comprising a plurality of fields of view;
• determining a biofilm in the bodily fluid sample from the image;
• determining a biofilm area or volume within each of the plurality of fields of view to form a plurality of biofilm areas;
• determining a total biofilm area or volume by adding the plurality of biofilm areas;
• determining a first value corresponding to a comparison of the total biofilm area or volume and a total volume of the bodily fluid sample;
• classifying the first value into a classification;
• and
• in response to the classification, displaying an indicator on a display for indicating the classification of the biofilm within the bodily fluid sample.

A system comprising:

• a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample comprising objects;
• an image capture device generating a first image of the objects, generating a second image of the objects after the first image and generating a third image of the objects after the second image;
• an image processor programmed to
• color the objects in the first image with a first color to form a first colored image;
• color the objects in the second image with a second color to form a second colored image;
• color the objects in the third image with a third color to form a third colored image;
• add the first colored image, the second colored image and the third colored image to form a composite image of the object;
• determine movement of a first object based on the composite image;
• determining non-movement of a second object based on the composite image;
• classify the second object as a biofilm based on non-movement of the object to form a classification;
• an analyzer, displaying an indicator on a display for indicating the classification of the biofilm within the bodily fluid sample.

A method comprising:

• generating a first image of an object in bodily fluid;
• coloring the object in the first image with a first color to form a first colored image;
• generating a second image of the object later in time than the first image;
• coloring the object in the second image with a second color to form a second colored image;
• generating a third image of the object later in time than the second image;
• coloring the object in the third image with a third color to form a third colored image;
• adding the first colored image, the second colored image and the third colored image to form a composite image;
• determining movement of a first object based on the composite image;
• determining non-movement of a second object based on the composite image;
• classifying the second object as a biofilm based on non-movement of the object to form a classification;
• and
• displaying an indicator on a display for indicating the classification of the biofilm within the bodily fluid sample.

A system for classifying a biofilm comprises:

• a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample,
• an image capture device generating a composite image of a plurality of images from a plurality of fields of view of the bodily fluid sample, the bodily fluid sample comprising a biofilm a plurality of objects;
• an image processor programmed to
• determine a quantity of the fields of view;
• determine a biofilm occurrence density ratio;
• determine a biofilm density ratio;
• determine an average confidence score;
• determine a biofilm volume weighted confidence score;
• and
• a field of view volume weighted confidence score;
• and
• an analysis report generator generating a report comprising the biofilm occurrence density ratio, the biofilm density ratio, the average confidence score, the biofilm volume weighted confidence score and the field of view volume weighted confidence score.

A system comprising:

• a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample;
• an image capture device generating a first image of an object, generating a second image of the object after the first image and generating a third image of the object after the second image;
• an image classifier programmed to
• color the object in the first image with a first color to form a first colored image;
• color the object in the second image with a second color to form a second colored image;
• color the object in the third image with a third color to form a third colored image;
• add the first colored image, the second colored image and the third colored image to form a composite image;
• determine movement of the object based on the composite image;
• and
• classify the object based on movement of the object to form a classification;
• an analyzer, in response to the classification, displaying an indicator on a display for indicating the classification within the bodily fluid sample.

A method comprising:
