The conventional manual microscopy of blood smears, although widely practiced, suffers from significant limitations including labor\u2010intensity and susceptibility to human error, particularly in distinguishing the subtle differences between normal and leukemic cells.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To overcome these limitations, our research introduces the ALLDet classifier, an innovative tool employing deep transfer learning for the automated analysis and categorization of ALL from White Blood Cell (WBC) nuclei images. Our investigation encompassed the evaluation of nine state\u2010of\u2010the\u2010art pre\u2010trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models, namely VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, ResNet101, DenseNet121, DenseNet201, Xception, MobileNet, and EfficientNetB3. We augmented this approach by incorporating a sophisticated contour\u2010based segmentation technique, derived from the Chan\u2010Vese model, aimed at the meticulous segmentation of blast cell nuclei in blood smear images, thereby enhancing the accuracy of our analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The empirical assessment of these methodologies underscored the superior performance of the EfficientNetB3 model, which demonstrated exceptional metrics: a recall specificity of 98.5%, precision of 95.86%, F1\u2010score of 97.16%, and an overall accuracy rate of 97.13%. The Chan\u2010Vese model's adaptability to the irregular shapes of blast cells and its noise\u2010resistant segmentation capability were key to capturing the complex morphological changes essential for accurate segmentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The combined application of the ALLDet classifier, powered by EfficientNetB3, with our advanced segmentation approach, emerges as a formidable advancement in the early detection and accurate diagnosis of ALL. This breakthrough not only signifies a pivotal leap in leukemia diagnostic methodologies but also holds the promise of significantly elevating the standards of patient care through the provision of timely and precise diagnoses. The implications of this study extend beyond immediate clinical utility, paving the way for future research to further refine and enhance the capabilities of artificial intelligence in medical diagnostics.<\/jats:p>\n
