Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Computer-based image analysis (IA) is increasingly vital in diagnostic pathology.
  • Current IA applications include DNA ploidy, immunohistochemistry, 3D reconstruction, and motility studies.
  • Morphometry, a subfield of IA, offers objective evaluation of histologic and cytologic features for diagnostic and prognostic insights.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a cost-effective image analysis workstation for pathology.
  • To demonstrate practical applications of morphometric IA in surgical pathology.
  • To overcome limitations of expensive and inflexible commercial IA systems.

Main Methods:

  • Assembly of an inexpensive IA workstation using commercial hardware and software.
