title: Analytic morphology in clinical and experimental dermatology.
abstract: During the past several years, quantitative morphology has gained increasing attention in diagnostic pathology and in certain research applications. In the field of dermatopathology, quantitative morphology has been applied to numerous problems, ranging from the interactive measurement of nuclear contours to fully automated, high-resolution image analysis of ultrastructural micrographs. Dermatologic applications are reviewed, and potential developments in the future are briefly outlined.
