Zusammenfassung:A method for identifying and enumerating candidate target cells within a biological fluid specimen (10) is described. The method includes obtaining (115) a biological fluid specimen (10), preparing the biological fluid specimen (10) by staining cell features in the biological fluid specimen (10), capturing (145) a digital image having a plurality of color channels of the biological fluid specimen (10), and applying (150) image analysis to the digital image. A computer program product for identifying candidate target cells within a biological fluid specimen is also described. The computer program comprises instructions to cause a processor to carry out the image analysis.
