Karyometric data by image analysis and their use in pathology

Abstract
An overview is given on image analysis applications in histopathology. In comparison to automated cytology, there are only few practical efforts in this field. But they have shown that karyometric data yielded by image analysis give valuable information for description of histological specimens. Further in the paper, general principles of object segmentation, feature generation, object classification, and characterization of histological specimens by karyometric data are shortly discussed. These principles are realized in the author's image analysis system. Finally, a practical example is presented (brain tumours). The mean effective time for evaluating one specimen (out of 346 cases) is 5-10 minutes (300-1000 investigated nuclei).
