Image processing in pathology. V. Interpretation of feature distributions of liver cell nuclei in histological sections.
A new method is applied for calculating the volume and extinction of liver cell nuclei from area and extinction of their sections in histological slices. With a special classificator for the automatical processing of microscopical pictures 96 per cent of morphologically controlled aequatorial sections of liver cell nuclei are correctly recognized. Using a mathematical model (additive fitting of three normal distributions to the given feature distribution) ploidie classes and volume classes can be recorded more exactly.
