Dec 14, 2018 | Artificial intelligence-based device detects moving parasites in bodily fluid for easier, earlier diagnosis
Scientists typically diagnose parasitic infections by scanning bodily fluid samples with optical microscopes. But that conventional approach sometimes doesn’t work — for example, if the concentration of parasites in the sample is too low, or if the microscope’s...
