Diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia using fuzzy logic and neural networks

Abstract In this paper, we present an algorithm for diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in developing countries like Mexico. The proposed method uses a robust fuzzy logic algorithm to classify the ALL using microscopic cell images obtained by smears of bone marrow aspirates. We improve the results of fuzzy method using a radial basis function neural network to realise the diagnosis.
