Synopsis

This volume is tailored to the specific needs and interests of pathologists, particularly those with little computer science background. It is an introduction to the fundamentals of image analysis and covers basic hardware and software requirements, key theoretical aspects, and current applications in the pathology laboratory. Clearly presented and explained are: principles and applications of stereology; morphometry; microphotometry; densitometry; quantitative immunocytochemistry; ploidy determination; and automated cytology. Throughout the text, crucial concepts - calibration, standardization, reproducibility, comparable data - rather than specific mechanics are emphasized. Of special note are the descriptive listings of some currently available hardware and software systems for pathology-oriented image analysis.
