dc.description.abstractThe present study focuses on quantitative phase imaging of erythrocytes with the aim to evaluate the effects of high-dose methylprednisolone (HDMP) on erythrocytes in vivo under physiological conditions in human blood samples. Samples from ten patients, prescribed to be treated with 1000 mg/day intravenous methylprednisolone for 5 days, were analyzed by white light diffraction phase microscopy (WDPM) for quantitative imaging. WDPM, an optical measurement technique, enables single shot measurement and low speckle noise using white light. Quantitative phase imaging performed with this experimental setup allowed the determination of erythrocyte morphology with 9 different parameters. In vivo quantitative analysis of erythrocytes by WDPM, which is a simple and reliable method, shows that HDMP treatment has no significant effect on erythrocyte morphology. With the developing technology, interdisciplinary studies on individuals under treatment should play an important role in elucidating the interaction between steroids and erythrocytes.
