96249-8
LaboratoryArtifact [#/area] in Urine by Computer assisted method
Definition
Automated algorithms typically classify particles as artifact if they cannot be identified with a specific amount of certainty, such as 90%, depending on the instrument or algorithm. Human review typically reclassifies some artifacts as specific named particles (e.g., specific cells, crystals, or bacteria).
