title: [Use of morphometry in pathological anatomy].
abstract: The paper describes the main principles of morphometry and its concepts and characterizes the potentials of the morphometric methods. Statistical sampling and conditions of preserving its representative character are dealt with. The implications of some concepts of variation statistics are analysed: mean values, variability indices, confidence intervals, thresholds of confidence probability, criteria of significance, regularities of the distribution of frequencies of sampling elements. The main rules of the factor, correlation, regression, dispersion, and information analysis are described. Attention is drawn to the insufficient use of morphometry potentials. It is stated that morphometric description should not overshadow the specific features of the structures under study.
