title: [Use of automatic picture processing in clinical-morphological diagnostics].
abstract: The use of the automatic elaboration of pictures for the evaluation of microscopic pictures gives the possibility to automise histological and cytological routine examinations and to improve the recognition of morphological findings by quantitative investigations in the medical morphological diagnostics. The effective practical use of the method is bound to certain device-technical prerequisites which are mentioned in short. At the same time a survey of the principal possibilities in the medical morphological diagnostics is given. By the analysis of the digitalised pictures of cells, cell organelles and other tissue structures reproducible quantitative data on outline and texture as well as on the special arrangement of the objects present in the picture are obtained. On the basis of these characteristics it is possible to identify cells, to find perhaps existing subgroupings in cell populations or to perform an automatic preselection of the material to be investigated. At the instance of the normal white differential blood picture the modern possibilities and limits of the method are described.
