Title
Classification of Polyethylene Particles and the Local CD3+ Lymphocytosis in Histological Slices.
Abstract
In 2014, about 400.000 endoprosthetic operations were performed in Germany [1]. Unfortunately, the lifespan is limited and already after 10 years 5 percent of the patients have primary complaints [2]. All the more important it is to clarify the causes for this failure. One main cause is an immune response to abrasion particles of the implant, an effect which is assumed to be correlated with occurrence and count of CD3+ immune/inflammatory cells [3]. For the further analysis of this effect, computer-aided classification and image analysis methods provide a high value for the medical research. Aim of this work was the development of an threshold-based algorithm for the segmentation of polyethylene abrasion particles and the CD3+ immune/inflammatory response of histological slice images.
