Abstract

A urine analysis system according to an embodiment includes: a testing apparatus that measures particles included in a urine sample according to a flow cytometry method; an image capturing apparatus that captures images of particles in the urine sample to acquire particle images; and a management apparatus that receives a measurement result obtained by the testing apparatus and the particle images acquired by the image capturing apparatus. The management apparatus generates an order to capture an image of the urine sample based on the measurement result obtained by the testing apparatus. The image capturing apparatus executes the image capturing processing of the particles in the urine sample for which the image capturing order has been generated by the management apparatus, and transmits the acquired particle images to the management apparatus.

Abstract

A fluorescence image analyzer has an imaging unit for capturing a first image containing at least a part of a region of a cell as an imaging target for a plurality of cells in a sample in which a target site on a chromosome is labeled with a fluorescent dye, and a second image including fluorescence generated from a fluorescent dye labeling the target site of the cell of the first image. The processing unit selects a plurality of test cells having specific morphological characteristics to be tested from a plurality of cells based on at least the first image, and extracts the bright spots of fluorescence generated from the fluorescent dye. The processing unit identifies cells with chromosomal abnormalities and/or cells without chromosomal abnormalities based on the extracted bright spots, and generates information related to the ratio of cells with chromosomal abnormalities relative to the test cells.
