[Morphometric evaluation of the microcirculatory bed of the synovial membrane in rheumatoid arthritis using automatic...

Automatic analysis of the image makes objective assessment of the morphological picture of pathological processes much easier. The authors subjected only vascular changes to such an objective assessment. The picture of rheumatoid synovitis as a whole, i.e. including changes in their layers, nature and extent of infiltration can be subjected to the same analysis. This requires elaboration of more intricate programs or a more complex procedure of the analysis with due regard for all sings reflecting exudative and proliferative processes in all the components of the synovial tissue.
