Brief summary
Defined indicators of the thickness of erythrocytes (Ter), sphericity index of red blood cells (Rer) and the average diameter of erythrocytes (Der) in healthy people and in congenital microspherocytosis. Revealed the discrepancy between the magnitude of the average diameter of erythrocytes (Der) and the mean corpuscular volume of erythrocytes (MCV) in patients with congenital microspherocytosis.
Key words
Anemia, congenital microspherocytosis, hardware and software systems analysis of the images, the thickness of the red blood cells, the average diameter of red blood cells, red blood cell sphericity index, mean corpuscular volume of erythrocytes.
