Provided is a method for using a sample containing cells collected from a patient to discriminate, with high sensitivity and high accuracy, normal cells and abnormal cells contained in the sample. A sample containing cells collected from a patient is irradiated with electromagnetic waves, an electromagnetic wave scattering spectrum from the cells in the sample is measured, and normal cells and abnormal cells are discriminated on the basis of the characteristics of the electromagnetic wave scattering spectrum. The discrimination uses a trained model in which the electromagnetic wave scattering spectra of normal cells and abnormal cells are trained. The sample may be a living cell, or may be a sample that is immobilized by an alcohol or formalin and dyed. The electromagnetic wave scattering spectrum may use either or both of a scattering spectrum obtained through Rayleigh scattering and a scattering spectrum obtained through Mie scattering.

Abstract

A spectrum generation processing unit 92 subjects a plurality of items of image data individually to Fourier transform processing, thereby generating a plurality of items of spectrum data 202b. Then, a comparison processing unit 94 compares the individual components of the plurality of items of spectrum data 202b, corresponding to the same frequency, with each other. On the basis of the result of comparison by the comparison processing unit 94, a synthetic spectrum generation processing unit 96 selects one of the individual components of the plurality of items of spectrum data 202b, corresponding to the same frequency, thereby generating synthetic spectrum data 202c. An image generation processing unit 98 generates output image data 202d by subjecting the synthetic spectrum data 202c to inverse Fourier transform processing.
