How Does Non-Quantitative Analysis Complement Quantitative Methods?
Non-quantitative and quantitative methods often complement each other in histology. While non-quantitative analysis provides a detailed morphological overview, quantitative methods offer precise measurements and statistical data. For instance, in cancer research, non-quantitative analysis can identify tumor morphology and heterogeneity, while quantitative methods can measure tumor cell proliferation rates or the expression levels of specific markers. Combining both approaches yields a more comprehensive understanding of tissue biology and pathology.
