“…The MCD, introduced by Canham and Burton, is a theoretical parameter that predicts the smallest capillary diameter that a given RBC can squeeze through and, thus, is clinically significant. Furthermore, for each cell, we are able to calculate simultaneously many other independent parameters [15], including: perimeter, circular diameter, eccentricity, minimum, maximum, and mean thickness, circularity, integrated density of the cell, and kurtosis, skewness, and variance for cell height distribution. Given the vast amount of information available about each cell, this may open up opportunities to study and characterize abnormal cells and Figure 2.…”
