title: Use of fractal [corrected] analysis for evaluation of liver structure and function in rats in vivo.
abstract: Fractal [corrected] and morphometrical analysis of images obtained by life-time photo- and videorecording of microhemocirculatory changes in the rats in health, experimental cirrhosis, and variants of its treatment was carried out. Differences in the fractional dimensions of the studied organs were significant and correlated with morphological values. This suggests fractal [corrected] analysis for the diagnosis and prediction of hepatic tissue status in vivo.
