Consistency analysis of AI cell recognition results between non anticoagulant and anticoagulant marrow smear after Wright's staining

Technical testing reveals how specimen preparation affects AI bone marrow analysis, informing design standards for safer automated blood-cell machines.

This technical study from a military hematology center demonstrates that AI-based bone marrow cell recognition shows significant inconsistency between anticoagulated and non-anticoagulated smear preparations, a critical finding for the design of fully automated hematology analyzers. This is a methodological/quality-assurance paper with direct implications for AI bone marrow analyzer development standards.
