Abstract: Nuclear Pleomorphism in Canine Cutaneous Mast Cell Tumors
摘要
In histological preparations of tumors, an important criterion for evaluation of malignancy is the variation of nuclear size (anisokaryosis), which is traditionally estimated by pathologists. To improve reproducibility, nuclear size measurements (morphometry) can be performed. In this study [1] we developed a segmentation-based nuclear morphometry algorithm and compared its prognostic value with pathologist’s estimates (routine method) and manual morphometry (gold standard method).
