Use of a hybrid intelligence decision tree to identify mature B‐cell neoplasms

open access: yesCytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Mature B‐cell neoplasms are challenging to diagnose due to their heterogeneity and overlapping clinical and biological features. In this study, we present a new workflow strategy that leverages a large amount of flow cytometry data and an artificial intelligence approach to classify these neoplasms. Methods By combining mathematical
