A review of sickle cells classification system based on microscopic images.

A blood smear is used for a diagnostic is important and crucial to detect a group of diseases, therefore the accurate diagnosis of the disease plays a vital role in the planning and evaluation of treatment. The correct classification of blood cells makes the detection of the disease more accurate and reliable. The cell morphology has the main role in detecting and identifying types of blood cells, especially sickle cells because the shape of sickle cells differs greatly from normal cells. This paper reviews the recent methods used in diagnosing sickle cell anemia. Blood cells detection and classification as well as their limitations are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
