Researchers have developed a new method called PRISM for segmenting images of blood cells to classify Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). This approach focuses on adaptive concentric zones around the nucleus rather than precise cell boundaries, which are often difficult to discern in low-contrast images. PRISM extracts cytoplasmic descriptors using color and texture information, feeding them into a stacked ensemble of traditional classifiers. The method achieved a high accuracy of 98.46% and a precision-recall AUC of 0.9937 on its classification task. AI
