Patent number: 8660332Abstract: Multimodal or multispectral images of cells comprising a population of cells are simultaneously collected. Photometric and/or morphometric image features identifiable in the images are used to identify differences between first and second populations of cells. The differences can include changes in a relative percentage of different cell types in each population, or a change in a first type of cell present in the first population of cells and the same type of cell in the second population of cells. The changes may be indicative of a disease state, indicative of a relative effectiveness of a therapy, or indicative of a health of the person from whom the cells populations were obtained.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Amnis CorporationInventors: William E. Ortyn, David A. Basiji, Philip J. Morrissey, Thaddeus C. George, Brian E. Hall, Cathleen A. Zimmerman, David J. Perry

Patent number: 7925069Abstract: Multimodal/multispectral images of a population of cells are simultaneously collected. Photometric and/or morphometric features identifiable in the images are used to separate the population of cells into a plurality of subpopulations. Where the population of cells includes diseased cells and healthy cells, the images can be separated into a healthy subpopulation, and a diseased subpopulation. Where the population of cells does not include diseased cells, one or more ratios of different cell types in patients not having a disease condition can be compared to the corresponding ratios in patients having the disease condition, enabling the disease condition to be detected. For example, blood cells can be separated into different types based on their images, and an increase in the number of lymphocytes, a phenomenon associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, can readily be detected.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2009Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Amnis CorporationInventors: William E.
