Detecting Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia using Computer Vision

Challenge Background

In ALL there is an accumulation in the bone marrow of immature lymphocyte precursor cells, called blast cells. Eventually, the production of normal blood cells is affected by this, resulting in a reduction in the number of red cells, normal white cells, and platelets in the blood.

ALL is the only form of leukemia that is more common in children than adults. It is the single most common form of pediatric cancer, accounting for about one-third of all cases in children. About 85% of cases of childhood leukemia are ALL and it occurs in about 400 children in the UK each year. ALL occurs mostly between the ages of about two and four years. Males are affected more often than females at all ages.
