Sumario:Laboratory tests and clinical analysis is a must to confirm or reject some medical diagnosis. Common analytical fields of knowledge are: Hematology, Clinical biochemistry, Urology, Microbiology among others. This work is for the clinical field of Hematology where detection of immature leukocytes on peripheral blood sample is part of a clinical test of relevance for detection of certain types of cancer. Hematologists distinguish metamyelocytes by their characteristic kidney shape and band Neutrophils by C or S shape of their nucleus. This work focuses on the development of an algorithm in MATLAB, for detection, recognition and classification of abnormal White Blood Cells (WBC) in peripheral blood samples and implementation of some VHDL modules in a FPGA; with the purpose to ease future applications in devices for clinical analysis. Development and implementation could contribute to improve some devices, like blood analyzers based on microscopy augmented images.
