[Patho-histological liver diagnostics-yesterday and today].
The development of the so-called one second liver biopsy method of Menghini in 1957 resulted in rapid progress in the field of liver pathology. Indeed a new sub-discipline of pathology was created based on the interpretation of needle biopsy findings. In order to achieve the current high level of diagnostic and prognostic accuracy it was necessary to provide special histopathological training and to emphasize clinical-pathologic cooperation. The full potential of this technique has not yet been universally realized.
