Why is Region-Based Segmentation Important in Histology?
Histological images are complex, containing numerous structures with subtle differences. Region-based segmentation helps in:
- Identifying and isolating different tissue types: By segmenting regions, pathologists can more easily identify various tissue types, such as epithelial, connective, or neural tissues. - Quantitative analysis: Segmented regions allow for the quantitative analysis of tissue components, such as cell count, area, and density. - Detection of abnormalities: Precise segmentation aids in the detection of pathological changes, such as tumors or inflammatory regions.
