Nuclear morphometric application in the quantitative description of breast lesions
Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Morphometry is the quantitative description of geometric features of structures such as tissues, cells, nuclei, or nucleoli. One of the most important functions of morphometry in pathology is the study of nuclear morphometry in differentiating benign lesions from malignant lesions based on their nuclear parameters. Morphometric techniques are fairly simple and inexpensive, but time-consuming in routine applications. In this review, an attempt is made to examine the significance of nuclear morphometry in the quantitative evaluation of breast lesions, and different techniques applied by various researchers.
