Image analysis is crucial in histology because it allows for the quantification and objective assessment of tissue features. This includes:
Cell Counting: Determining the number of cells in a given area, which is important for identifying hyperplasia or other conditions. Morphometric Analysis: Measuring the shapes and sizes of cells and tissues to detect abnormalities. Marker Expression: Analyzing the presence and intensity of specific markers using techniques like immunohistochemistry. Digital Pathology: Utilizing digital slides and software to facilitate remote consultation and advanced analysis.
