Abstract:
Systems and methods for use with a biological sample include a microscopy device, a diluent, a sample holder, and one or more of lyophilized cakes comprising artificial particles. The lyophilized cakes and the biological sample are mixed with the diluent in the sample holder to form a solution. The biological sample is imaged with the artificial particles as reference markers using the microscopy device. A settling time of the artificial particles is shorter than or equal to a settling time of the biological sample.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for processing test results based on patient-specific data and reference data are provided. An example method includes processing a result of a diagnostic test performed on a patient based on reference data that is based on testing of a group of patients. The method also includes processing the result based on patient-specific data that includes previous test results of the diagnostic test previously performed on the patient, and providing an indication indicative of an abnormal test result based on the result being in a normal range of the reference data and having a variance from the patient-specific data of a threshold amount. In another example, a method includes providing an indication indicative of a normal test result based on the result being outside a normal range of the reference data and being between an upper limit and a lower limit of the patient-specific data.
