Statistical histometry in the diagnostic assessment of tissue sections.
A statistical histometric model to distinguish adenoma of the colon from normal colon is described. The model, based on the number and location of glandular nuclei, with a dependency scheme based upon displacement, was tested and shown to be significant and capable of simulating the architecture of an adenoma.
