Area of Science:

  • Histology and Pathology
  • Digital Image Processing
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Emerging research in analytical and quantitative histology.
  • Need for objective and precise measurements in histopathology.
  • Limitations of classical approaches in quantifying microscopic features.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Present recent trends in computerized morphometry.
  • Introduce the ADK procedure for quantitative feature extraction.
  • Demonstrate the application of modern software in histopathology.

Main Methods:

  • Application of the ADK procedure on an endometrial adenocarcinoma.
  • Utilizing Zeiss KS400 platform for image analysis.
  • Comparison of KS400 with other digital image processing software.

Main Results:

  • 2-D and 3-D stereological evaluation of tumorous and stromal areas/volumes.
  • Measurement of nuclei in stromal and tumorous zones.
  • Calculation of the percentage of nuclei within specific tissue zones.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-aided morphometry provides more expressive criteria for pathology diagnosis.
  • Quantification at the pixel level overcomes approximations of classical methods.
  • Results offer factors for prognostic assessment in cancer diagnosis.
