title: An integrated system for feature evaluation of 3D images of a tissue specimen.
abstract: In this article we have proposed an integrated system for measurement of important features from 3D tissue images. We propose a segmentation technique, where we combine several methods to achieve a good degree of automation. Important histological and cytological three-dimensional features and strategies to measure them are described.
