[Grading of urinary bladder tumors by automated microscopic image analysis].
Studies were undertaken on biopsies from urinary bladder papillomas and urothelial carcinomas of different grades (G1-G3) along with normal urinary bladder mucosa from a total of 145 patients. They were performed by use of automated microscopic image analysis (system Robotron A 6471; software AMBA/R) and resulted in making objective the tumor grading and lead to the detection of both papillomas and G1-carcinomas with high proliferating activity. In addition, we were able to separate the G2-carcinomas into two groups which probably show different biological behaviour. They cannot be discriminated by conventional morphological methods but their existence is consistent with clinical observations.
