Quantitative Clinical Pathology

by Peter W. Hamilton, David M. Allen

This book provides a detailed account of the new techniques used in the rapidly expanding discipline of quantitative pathology. Quantitative pathology is essentially a means of measuring histological samples in the diagnosis and prognosis of disease. The techniques described morphometry, photometry, flow cytometry, three-dimensional reconstruction and expert systems. These techniques measure cell count, which is an important indicator of malignant tumors and other forms of cancer.
