There are essentially three types of aberrations of irradiated chromosomes in a mitotic cell; namely, fragments, rings and dicentrics, which are resulted from breakages and exchanges of chromatids. The occurrence of any of these aberrations is considered to be a very useful indicator of radiation damage at cell level. The large volume of tests required for monitoring health-related radiation damage necessitates an automated system for recognition of these aberrant chromosomes. Such a system, using a cutoff level independent skeletonization approach, has been developed and is discussed in this paper. The test results on 15 abnormal cells are also presented.
