 +===== Brief discussion of algorithm =====
 +A more detailed explanation of the partial-body algorithm utilized by ADCI can be found in our manuscript published in the International Journal of Radiation Biology (2020): [[http://adcidewiki.cytognomix.com/files/pubs/Estimating_partialbody_ionizing_radiation_exposure_by_automated_cytogenetic_biodosimetry.pdf | Direct link to pdf]]

 +Although FP DCs in ADCI are minimized by [[main:fpfilters | morphological image filtering]], they are not completely eliminated. The impact of remaining FP DCs on dose estimates of partially irradiated samples was not predictable and affected the accuracy of some estimates, especially at low-dose exposures. Here, we correct the overall DC frequencies by removing the estimated residual FPs after morphological filtering by assuming nearly all DCs detected in the 0Gy calibration sample are FPs. ADCI generates a user-defined number (default: 500) of randomly selected subsets of samples, each subset containing half the number of images present in the original 0Gy calibration sample, or a user-defined number (default: 500) of images, whichever is greater. ADCI then determines the DC frequency of each subset (after application of an [[main:imageselectionmodel | image selection model]]) and calculates the standard deviation. A calibration curve adjusted for FPs is generated by reducing the observed 0Gy calibration sample DC frequency by two SD. DCs are then removed from all other calibration samples based on the residual DC count in the 0Gy sample. The 0Gy calibration sample DC frequency reduced by 2 SD is a conservative estimate of the minimum DC frequency which could reasonably be found in the sample. By removing this reduced number of FPs in test samples, we ensure that DC counts in test samples after FP adjustment are non-negative.
