Imaging flow cytometry combines the statistical power and fluorescence sensitivity of
standard flow cytometry with the spatial resolution and quantitative morphology of digital
microscopy. The technique is a good fit for clinical applications by providing a convenient
means for imaging and analyzing cells directly in bodily fluids. Examples are provided of the
discrimination of cancerous from normal mammary epithelial cells and the high-throughput
quantitation of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes in human peripheral blood …
