Development of an AI-Based Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Classification System

Peter Zhu

Abstract: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is an extremely malignant form of acute leukemia and must be treated as soon as possible; however, due to a lack of personnel and equipment, APL is often misdiagnosed in rural regions and developing countries. To solve this problem, I developed an AI-based classification system that determines, from conventional microscopic images of leukocytes, whether or not APL is present.
