Automatic tracking and deformation measurements of red blood cells flowing through a microchannel with a microstenosis: the keyhole model

This study aimed to assess the motion and its deformation index (DI) of red blood cells (RBCs) flowing through a microchannel with a microstenosis using an image analysis-based method. For this purpose, a microchannel having a smooth contraction was used and the images were captured by a standard hi...
