Quantitative morphological evaluation of experimentally induced atheroma.
A computerized operator-interactive system for measurement of atheroma is described. The system utilizes a 64K microcomputer, a high resolution digitizer tablet, dual floppy disc drives, and a video monitor. The method offers significant advantages over earlier systems in speed, accuracy, reproducibility and cost effectiveness.
