Description of Collaborative Activity: |
Collaboration with M Choi, WC Cheng, and A Badano from the Imaging Physics Lab, Division of Imaging and Applied Mathematics, Office of Science and Engineering Labs, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), FDA. The project consists of developing software and establish validations for the automated determination of marrow cellularity and enumeration of plasma cells identified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using a CD138 antibody. This initial effort should serve as proof of principle for a broader plan to utilize IHC-based automated quantitation of different types of cells in bone marrow core biopsies for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy monitoring of marrow disorders. |
