New framework improves leukemia cell classification using AI models

Researchers have developed a new framework for classifying leukemia cells using a two-stage pipeline that leverages pretrained vision foundation models. The first stage performs a binary classification of leukemia versus non-leukemia using over 122,000 images, while the second stage conditionally classifies positive cases into Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) using nearly 70,000 images. The study benchmarks three encoders—DinoBloom, BiomedCLIP, and CLIP—evaluating their performance with linear probing, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), and a Retrieval-Augmented Classification (RAC) module to assess the impact of domain-specific pretraining and cost-effective adaptation methods on generalization across different microscopy datasets. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and robust AI-driven diagnostic tools for leukemia detection in clinical settings.

    Retrieval-Augmented Vision Foundation Models for Robust Leukemia Cell Classification across Multiple Microscopy Datasets

    arXiv:2608.10657v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Leukemia cell image classification is challenged by real-world domain shifts from acquisition, staining, illumination, and site protocols, causing single-dataset models to generalize poorly in real clinical scenarios. This work pr…
