用深度学习从骨髓涂片自动分析患者级白血病诊断指标

Bone marrow smear review remains important for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) assessment, but manual single-cell interpretation is labor-intensive and patient-level diagnosis requires aggregation of many cellular observations. We present a cell-to-patient deep learning pipeline for AML-assisted diagnosis from bone marrow smear images. The study included 258 patients from six anonymized centers, including a main cohort of 169 patients from Centers 1-3 and an external validation cohort of 89 patients from Centers 4-6. A 16-category cell annotation vocabulary was used to describe the global cellular composition, including granulocytic, monocytic, erythroid, lymphoid, eosinophilic, and other cells. Rather than identifying strict AML blasts or leukemic blasts, the model targets an expert-defined composite category termed Composite Blast-like Cells (CBLC), comprising N, N1, M, M1, R, R1, J, and J1 according to the project-wide morphological standard. A fixed YOLO-based segmentation module detected cells, predicted contours were matched to expert polygon annotations by contour IoU, and standardized single-cell crops were generated. An EfficientNet-B0 classifier was trained through a two-stage GT-to-YOLO and YOLO-to-YOLO strategy with class-imbalance correction, center-border regularization, and morphology-assisted supervision. Cell-level predictions were aggregated into patient-level CBLC ratios for AML-oriented diagnostic support. The pipeline achieved stable internal validation and maintained external generalization, with ensemble weighted F1-scores of 0.9076, 0.8696, and 0.9124 on Centers 4, 5, and 6, respectively.
