In Peru, it is estimated that out of 1200 new cases of childhood cancer detected annually, 350 end in death. These estimates are constantly increasing due to the lack of economical and reliable solutions to detect cancer. For instance, 60% of the neoplasms used to detect cancer are analyzed in advanced stages. Therefore, the process of cancer diagnosis in Peru takes almost three times more than in developed countries [1], reducing the chances of a cure. In this situation, we propose a technological model for optimizing the detection process of leukemia using digital microscopy. This model applies the Canny algorithm on a bank of images of normal and abnormal microscopic cells, for the identification of microscopic cells, which will finally be analyzed by a health specialist to provide the final diagnosis. The proposed model includes the capture, digitization, and analysis of microscopic samples. Fives phases are included in this model: 1. Data collection; 2. Data capture; 3. Image processing; 4. Cell classification; 5. Display of results. The model was validated with five blood samples from three men and two women in different age categories. All these samples were validated by the Head of Clinical Pathology at a public hospital in Callao. The results showed that a 90.5% effectiveness rate of white blood cell identification was obtained, thus reducing the current diagnosis time from 3 months, to an estimated 32 days.
