Automated determination of polygonality of corneal endothelial cells.
We developed a computer program for the image analyzer NEXUS 6400. The program enables automated determination of polygonality, especially hexagonality of corneal endothelial cells, by counting the number of neighboring cells. The results obtained with the method significantly correlated with those determined with the digitizer method.
