  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an overall schematic horizontal view showing an embodiment of an automatic particle analyzer according to the present invention, in which 100 is a flow cell, 101 is an image capturing unit, 102 is a particle analyzer, 103 is a particle detector, and 124 is a flow. It is a system control unit. Here, this embodiment is a flow-type particle automatic analyzer.

  In the figure, the flow type particle automatic analyzer of this embodiment includes a flow cell 100, an image capturing unit 110, a particle analysis unit 120, a particle detection unit 130, and a flow system control unit 140.

  The image capturing unit 110 includes a flash lamp 111, a field lens 112, a field stop 113, an aperture stop 114, a microscope condenser lens 115, a microscope objective lens 116 (shared with the particle detection unit 130), a TV camera 117, and a flash lamp driving circuit 118. And a flash lamp lighting control circuit 119.

  The particle analysis unit 120 includes an image memory 121, an image processing control circuit 122, a feature extraction circuit 123, an identification circuit 124, a review particle image memory 125, a central control unit 126, a particle analysis unit 127, an operation unit 128, and a display unit. 129. The central control unit 126 is connected to the quantitative analysis device 151 via the host computer 152, so that the central control unit 126 takes in the analysis result by the quantitative analysis device 151 via the host computer 152 and is photographed. This configuration is used to determine qualitative items from image data.

  The particle detector 130 includes a semiconductor laser source 131, a collimator lens 132, a cylindrical lens 133, a reflecting mirror 134, a minute reflecting mirror 135, a microscope objective lens 116, a beam splitter 136, a diaphragm 137, and a photodetector 138. ing.

  The laser light from the semiconductor laser source 131 is converted into a parallel laser beam by the collimator lens 132, and is reflected by the minute reflecting mirror 135 disposed between the microscope content lens 115 and the flow cell 100 via the reflecting mirror 134. The particle imaging region 101 (FIG. 2) in 100 is irradiated.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a specific example of the portion of the flow cell 100 in FIG. Hereinafter, the operation of the flow cell 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the figure, a sample 170 is sucked from a container (not shown) by a sample nozzle 163, and this sample 170 is injected into a staining tank 162 into which a staining solution 171 has been previously injected. After a certain period of time has passed, the dyed sample 172 composed of the dyeing solution 171 and the sample 170 in the dyeing tank 162 is sucked by the direct sampling nozzle 161 of the direct sampling mechanism 160 and injected into the flow cell 100. At that time, the sheath fluid 180 in the sheath fluid container 142 is sucked by the syringe mechanism 141, and the sheath fluid 180 is injected into two passages sandwiching the passage through which the stained sample 172 flows in the flow cell 100. For this reason, two inlets for the sheath liquid 180 are provided in the flow cell 100, and the sheath liquid 180 flows so as to sandwich the stained sample 172.

  Further, in the flow cell 100, the thickness of the staining sample 172 in the measurement channel is adjusted according to the flow rate ratio between the staining sample 172 and the sheath liquid 180. For example, when the flow rate of the staining sample 172 is constant, if the flow rate of the sheath liquid 180 decreases, the thickness of the ultra flat sample flow increases while the width remains constant, and when the flow rate of the sheath liquid 180 increases, the width increases. If it remains constant and is the same, the thickness of the super flat sample flow is reduced.

  When the urine formed component is to be analyzed, the size of the component is several μm to 200 μm, and therefore the width of the flow cell 100 needs 200 μm to 350 μm. The dyed sample 172 becomes a flat flow having a thickness of about several μm to several tens of μm. The particle imaging region 101 has a quadrangular shape with one side having substantially the same length as the flow width of the stained sample 172. The obtained captured image 190 has a width and a length of about 250 to 300 μm.

  In FIG. 1, the particle detector 130 detects particles in the stained sample 172 according to the particle determination logic for determining the presence or absence of particles. A plurality of particle judgment logics are prepared, and when detecting a particle having a small particle size, when the detection signal from the photodetector 138 becomes a predetermined A level and the pulse width becomes a predetermined PA. In addition, a judgment logic (algorithm) for judging that particles are detected is used.

  In addition, when detecting particles having a large particle size, the detection signal from the photodetector 138 becomes a predetermined B level different from the A level when detecting small particles, and the pulse width is different from the PA. When PB is reached, it is determined that particles have been detected. In this way, particles in the flow cell 100 are detected by the particle detection unit 130, and the captured image 190 (FIG. 2) is acquired by the image capturing unit 110.

  In the particle analysis unit 120, the image data output from the TV camera 117 is stored at a predetermined address in the image memory 121 under the control of the image processing control circuit 122. The image data stored in the image memory 121 is read out under the control of the image processing control circuit 122, supplied to the identification circuit 124 via the feature extraction circuit 123, and subjected to image processing. It is supplied to the central control unit 126. The supplied processing result is a particle classification result and particle identification characteristic parameter data used for particle classification.

  The classification and identification logic of particles is automatically performed by a pattern recognition process that is normally performed. The image processing result, the measurement conditions, and the image information subjected to the image processing are sent from the central control unit 126 to the particle analysis unit 127. In the particle analysis unit 127, based on the particle detection signals from the central control unit 126 and the photodetector 138, and further on the control signal from the image processing control circuit 122, the correspondence relationship between the detected particles and the particle classification result is determined. The final classification and classification result of the particle image is summarized. The result is returned to the central control unit 126 and output and displayed on the display unit 129 as necessary.

  On the other hand, when reviewing a particle image, first, when the operator designates the type of particle to be reviewed from the operation unit 128, this is transmitted to the identification circuit 124 via the central control unit 126, and the result of classification and identification by the identification circuit 124. Only when the set review particle names match, the corresponding particle images are sent from the image memory 121 to the review particle image memory 125 and sequentially accumulated.

  The review particle image memory 125 is dedicated to the particle image to be reviewed with respect to the particle image. The particle image accumulated in the review particle image memory 125 is stored in the central control unit from the review particle image memory 125 after the measurement of the sample. Through 126, the same particle type is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 129, and is used for review of the particle image by the operator.

  Based on these measurement results, the calculation of the particle concentration in the sample and the calculation of the number of particles converted in the visual field are performed, and the analysis result is returned to the central control unit 126.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a specific example of internal functions of the review particle image memory 125 and the central control unit 126 in FIG.

  In the drawing, the review particle image memory 125 includes an entire image memory 125a and a cut-out image memory 125b. Further, the central control unit 126 fetches an image from the entire image memory 125a or the cut-out image memory 125b in accordance with an operation command from the operation unit 128, and corrects the image according to a command from the result correction processing unit 126a. An arithmetic processing unit 126c that performs arithmetic processing, an analysis result memory 126d that stores a processing result (analysis result) of the arithmetic processing unit 126c, and an operation control unit 126b that controls operations of the display unit 129 and other units are provided. .

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the whole process of particle analysis in this embodiment.

  In the figure, first, the injection of the stained sample 172 into the flow cell 100 is started, and the detection of particles is started. When particles are detected by the particle detector 130 (step S1), an image is taken by the TV camera 117 (step S2). The image processing control circuit 122 separates the captured image 190 captured by the TV camera 117 into a background and components and binarizes them (step S3). Next, the components separated by the binarization processing are classified by numbering each, and the components are labeled (step S4).

  Then, the image processing control circuit 122 calculates feature parameters such as size, color information, and circularity for each component (step S5). At that time, the small component (less than 3 μm) is discarded, and the image of the remaining component is identified by a neural network from the feature parameter (step S6). Only the component area is extracted from the identified image, and is grouped for each component as a review image (inspection data), and stored in the cut-out image memory 125b (FIG. 3) of the review particle image memory 125 (step S7). . At the end of the above measurement process, a set number of images of the entire photographing area of the TV camera 117 stored in the image memory 121 (FIG. 1) are acquired, and the entire image memory 125a (FIG. 3) of the review particle image memory 125 is obtained. (Step S8).

  In FIG. 3, the central control unit 126 is provided with a memory (not shown) in which attribute data of a specimen such as a subject corresponding to a review image stored in the cut-out image memory 125b is stored. The attribute data and the image for review stored in the cut-out image memory 125b are associated with each other. When desired attribute data is designated by the operation of the operation unit 128, the central control unit 126 collates the designated attribute data with the attribute data stored in the memory, and designates the designated attribute data. The review image corresponding to is read from the cut-out image memory 125 b of the review particle image memory 125 and supplied to the display unit 129. As a result, all the review images corresponding to the designated attribute data can be displayed on the display unit 129.

  Here, when the attribute data is, for example, a specimen number, reception number, name, age, etc. of a subject such as a urine test, the specimen number of the subject is assigned to the review image. When, for example, a specimen number of an examinee who desires a review is designated by the operation unit 128, the review image of the examinee is read from the cut-out image memory 125b of the review particle image memory 125 and displayed on the display unit 129. Can be displayed.

  Next, an embodiment of the screen display method of the particle image analyzer of the present invention by the particle automatic analyzer shown in FIG. 1 will be described. In this embodiment, the display unit 129 displays a review image screen (review screen) corresponding to the attribute data specified by the operation unit 128 (here, the attribute data of the examinee, for example, its name). In this review image, the component (for example, urine component) can be checked.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of a screen display method of the particle automatic analyzer according to the present invention for checking a review image.

  In FIG. 1, when an examinee is designated by operating the operation unit 128, the central control unit 126 reads a review image corresponding to the designated examinee from the review particle image memory 125, and a review screen. Is generated and supplied to the display unit 129. Thereby, this review screen is displayed on the display unit 129 (step S100 in FIG. 5).

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a specific example of the first review screen to be displayed. 1a is the first review screen, 2 is the attribute data display area, 3 is the review area, and 4 is the inspection classification item display. Areas 5a to 5k are “inspection classification item” buttons, 6 is a check button, 7 is a review image display area, 8 is a review area, 9 is a review image, and 10 is a twin view button.

  In this figure, in the first review screen 1a displayed on the display screen of the display unit 129, the attribute data (specimen (examiner number), reception number, rack number, name, age, medical treatment of the inspected person specified). An attribute data display area 2 for displaying a review image 3 for displaying a review image as a measurement (inspection) result, an inspection classification item display area 4 for selecting an inspection result, and the like. ing.

  Here, the inspection classification items for the subject are “XX ball”, “× △ ball”, “XX ball”, “△△ ball”, “XX ball”, “XX ball”, “□”. There are 11 items of “X sphere”, “XX skin”, “□ △ fungus”, “○ sphere”, and “× sphere”, and in the inspection classification item display area 4, for each of these inspection classification items, the inspection classification item "Inspection category items" buttons 5a to 5k (referred to collectively as "inspection category items" button 5) are displayed. These “examination classification item” buttons 5 a to 5 k can be selected by clicking a cursor (not shown) on the operation unit 128 (FIG. 1), and a touch panel is provided on the display screen. It can also be selected by operation. In the following description, it is assumed that a touch operation is performed.

  On the first review screen 1a, the first arranged button among the arrangements of the “inspection classification item” buttons 5a to 5k, here, the “inspection classification item” button 5a of the inspection classification item “xx sphere” is displayed. In this state, the review image display area 7 is developed in the review area 3 in a tab form from the “inspection classification item” button 5 a of this inspection classification item. In the review area 8 provided, a review image 9 of the inspection result of the inspection classification item “xx sphere” is displayed. From this review image 9, the inspection result of the inspection classification item “xx sphere” can be checked.

  When the inspection result of the inspection classification item “xx sphere” corresponding to the selected “inspection classification item” button 5a is not checked using the review image 9, that is, when it has not been checked, A check button 6 is displayed on the “inspection classification item” button 5a of the inspection classification item “XX ball”, and when the check is completed, the check classification item “XX ball” is operated by touching the check button 6. "Is checked, and the result is supplied to the review particle image memory 125 (FIG. 1) and stored. The inspection classification item having no checked result data (for example, flag) is in an unchecked state that has not been checked yet.

  Further, the inspection result (review image) for the “inspection classification item” button 5 of the two inspection classification items is displayed at the same time in the corner of the review image display area 7, here, for example, the upper left corner. A twin view button 10 for displaying two screens is provided.

  On the review screen 1a shown in FIG. 6, when any of the “inspection classification item” buttons 5, for example, the “inspection classification item” button 5b of the next inspection classification item “× Δ sphere” is touch-operated (FIG. 5). Step S101), as shown in FIG. 7, the review image display area 7 is developed in the review area 3 in a tab form from the “inspection classification item” button 5b, and is provided in the review image display area 7. In the review area 8, a review image 9 of the inspection result of the inspection classification item “× Δ sphere” corresponding to the “inspection classification item” button 5b is displayed (step S102 in FIG. 5).

  In FIG. 7, parts corresponding to those in FIG.

  In this case, for the inspection classification item “xx ball”, the check button 6 of the “inspection classification item” button 5a corresponding to this inspection classification item “xx ball” is not touched on the review screen 1a shown in FIG. Since the check is not made, the “examination classification item” button 5a is displayed for the examination classification item “xx sphere” on the review screen 1b shown in FIG.

  In the review screen 1b shown in FIG. 7, the inspection item inspection classification item “× Δ sphere” corresponding to the selected “inspection item” button 5b is also not checked and is an unchecked item. The “examination classification item” button 5b is provided with a check button 6 (“YES” in step S103 in FIG. 5), and “NO” in step 101 and “NO” in step 104 until the next operation is performed. , The series of “NO” operations in step S110 are repeated, and the review screen 1b continues to be displayed.

  On the review screen 1a shown in FIG. 6, the check for the inspection classification item “XX sphere” is completed by the review image 9, and the check button 6 of the corresponding “inspection classification item” button 5a is touch-operated. (“YES” in step S104 of FIG. 5), the review screen 1c shown in FIG. 8 is displayed.

  In FIG. 8, reference numeral 11 denotes a background display, and the same reference numerals are given to portions corresponding to those in FIG.

  In the review screen 1c, the checked examination item “XX sphere” that has been checked is not displayed as a button, but is changed to a display (background display) 11 without a frame representing the button 5 (step S105 in FIG. 5). . Whether the inspection classification item is displayed as a button or a background is determined by the presence / absence of data indicating the completion of the check in the review particle image memory 125 (FIG. 1). If the inspection classification item “× Δ sphere” corresponding to the “inspection classification item” button 5b, which is the next inspection classification item, is unchecked (“YES” in step S106 in FIG. 5), this “inspection” The “classification item” button 5b is selected, the review image display area 7 is displayed in tab form from the “inspection classification item” button 5b, and the review image 9 of the inspection classification item “× Δ sphere” is displayed in the view area 8. It is displayed (step S107 in FIG. 5). Until the next operation is performed, a series of operations of “NO” in step 101, “NO” in step 104, and “NO” in step S110 are repeated, and the review screen 1c continues to be displayed.

  That is, when the check button 6 is touched on the review screen 1a shown in FIG. 6, the inspection classification item is checked and the background is displayed, and the review image of the next inspection classification item is displayed. Since it is possible to perform a check completion operation and a review display operation for an inspection classification item to be reviewed next by one operation of touching the check button 6, it is possible to improve the efficiency of image review. In addition, since the review image is displayed as the next inspection classification item by the operation of the check button 6 as an unchecked inspection classification item, the operator does not need to search for the unchecked inspection classification item himself, In this respect as well, the efficiency of image review can be improved.

  By the way, in the review screen 1c shown in FIG. 8, even when the inspection classification item “xx sphere” in the background display 11 that has been checked is touched (step S101 in FIG. 5), the tab for the “inspection classification item” button 5b. Instead of displaying the format, the review image display area 7 is displayed in tab form from the inspection classification item “XX ball”, and the review image 9 of the inspection classification item “XX ball” is displayed in the view area 8. (Step S102 in FIG. 5). In this case, the inspection classification item “XX sphere” has been checked (“NO” in step S103 of FIG. 5), but when the background display 11 portion of this inspection classification item “XX sphere” is touched again ( “YES” in step S108 in FIG. 5), the checked state is canceled and the check is unchecked, and the inspection classification item “XX sphere” is displayed as a button with the “inspection classification item” button 5a as shown in FIG. A check button 6 is also displayed (step S109 in FIG. 5). Thereafter, a series of operations of “NO” in step 101, “NO” in step 104, and “NO” in step S110 are repeated until the next operation, and the same operation as that on the review screen 1a shown in FIG. The review screen continues to be displayed.

  For example, when the twin view button 10 is touched on the review screen 1a shown in FIG. 6 (“YES” in step S110 in FIG. 5), the two-screen display process shown in FIG. 9 is performed.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a specific example of a review screen of two-screen display. 1d is a review screen, 9a is a review image, 12 is a reduced review area, 13 is a reference area, and 14a and 14b are creases. Yes, parts corresponding to those in the previous drawings are given the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  When the twin view button 10 is touched on the review screen 1a shown in FIG. 6, the review area 8 is reduced in the review image display area 7, and the “inspection classification” selected on the review screen 1a is displayed. The “inspection classification item” button 5b of the unchecked inspection classification item “× Δ sphere” next to the “item” button 5a is also selected, and the review screen 1d shown in FIG. 10 is displayed.

  In the review screen 1d, the review image display area 7 is developed in tab form from the “inspection classification item” button 5b, and the reduced review area 12 and the reference area are displayed on the review image display area 7. 13 is displayed. The reference area 13 is displayed in a space generated by reducing the review area 8 to the reduced review area 12. The review image display area 7 is divided into the reduced review area 12 and the reference area 13. (Step S200 in FIG. 9), the review image 9a of the inspection classification item “× Δ sphere” of the next “inspection classification item” button 5b selected in the reference area 13 is displayed (FIG. 9). Step S201). Thus, the review screen 1d becomes a two-screen display in which the review images 9 and 9a for the two types of inspection classification items are displayed simultaneously.

  Here, the inspection classification item (in this case, the inspection classification item “xx ball”) in which the review image 9 was displayed before the two-screen display is used as the main inspection classification item, and the two-screen display is used for the review. When the inspection classification item (in this case, the inspection classification item “× Δ sphere”) on which the image 9a is additionally displayed is referred to as a reference inspection classification item, the corner of the “inspection classification item” button 5a corresponding to the main inspection classification item For example, a crease 14a is attached to the upper right corner, and a crease 14b is attached to a corner of the reduced review area 12, for example, the upper left corner where the review image 9 corresponding to the main examination classification item is displayed. The folds 14a and 14b associate the “inspection classification item” button 5a of the main inspection classification item with the reduced review area 12. Therefore, the “inspection classification item” button 5b of the reference inspection classification item without the crease also corresponds to the reference area 13, and accordingly, the review image 9 of the main inspection classification item and the reference inspection classification item are displayed. The review image 9a can be clearly recognized.

  Here, when another “examination classification item” button 5, for example, an “examination classification item” button 5e is touched on the review screen 1d (“YES” in step S202 of FIG. 9), The inspection classification item “XX ball” for the “classification item” button 5e becomes the reference inspection classification item, and as shown in FIG. 11, the review image is displayed in tab form from the “inspection classification item” button 5e of this new reference inspection classification item. The display area 7 is expanded, and the review screen 1e is set in which the reduced review area 12 and the reference area 13 for the “examination classification item” button 5e are set in the review image display area 7 (step S203 in FIG. 9).

  In FIG. 11, portions corresponding to those in FIG.

  In the above description, the reference inspection classification item to be selected is changed by touching the “inspection classification item” button 5, but the check button 6 of the “inspection classification item” button 5 of the main inspection classification item is changed. By performing a touch operation on the part excluding the reference inspection item, the reference inspection classification item to be selected for each touch operation can be sequentially changed.

  FIG. 12 shows a specific example of the review screen 1f when there is an inspection classification item displayed in the background, where 1f is a review screen, 11b to 11d, 11f to 11h, and 11j are background display inspections. Parts that are classification items and that correspond to the previous drawings are assigned the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  In this figure, here, the inspection classification items “XX sphere”, “XX ball”, “□ Δ fungus”, and “X sphere” are unchecked and each has an “inspection classification item” button 5a. , 5e, 5i, 5k are displayed, but the inspection classification items “× △ sphere”, “○ □ sphere”, “△△ sphere”, “○ □ sphere”, “□ × sphere”, “XX skin” ”And“ ◯ sphere ”have already been checked, and these inspection classification items are displayed in the background displays 11b to 11d, 11f to 11h, and 11j, respectively. In the following, these inspection classification items are classified into inspection classification items “× Δ sphere” 11b, “◯ □ sphere” 11c, “Δ △ sphere” 11d, “◯ □ sphere” 11f, “□ × sphere” 11g, “ Xx leather "11h," circle "11j.

  At present, the inspection classification item “xx sphere” is the main inspection classification item, the “inspection classification item” button 5a is selected, and the review image 9 is displayed in the reduced review area 12, and the inspection classification item It is assumed that the “examination classification item” button 5 e is selected as the reference examination classification item “XX ball” and the review image 9 a is displayed in the reference area 13.

  In this state, the test classification item “□ Δ fungus” can be selected as the reference test classification item by touching the “test classification item” button 5i of the test classification item “□ Δ fungus”. By touching this “inspection category item” button 5a of the inspection category item “xx sphere”, the “inspection category item” button 5i next to the currently selected “inspection category item” button 5e is selected.
