Abstract

See full text

A method of characterizing a serum and plasma portion of a specimen in regions occluded by one or more labels. The characterization may be used for determining Hemolysis (H), Icterus (I), and/or Lipemia (L), or Normal (N) of a serum or plasma portion of a specimen. The method includes capturing one or more images of a labeled specimen container including a serum or plasma portion, processing the one or more images with a convolutional neural network to provide a determination of Hemolysis (H), Icterus (I), and/or Lipemia (L), or Normal (N). In further embodiments, the convolutional neural network can provide N′-Class segmentation information. Quality check modules and testing apparatus adapted to carry out the method are described, as are other aspects.
