Artificial Intelligence Substantially Supports Chromosome Banding Analysis Maintaining Its Strengths In Hematologic Diagnostics Even In The Era Of Newer Technologies

Background: Chromosome banding analysis (CBA) is one of the most important techniques in diagnostics and prognostication in hematologic neoplasms. CBA is still a challenging method with very labor-intensive wet lab processes and karyotyping that requires highly skilled and experienced specialists for tumor cytogenetics. Short turnaround times (TAT) are becoming increasingly important to enable genetics-based treatment stratification at diagnosis.
