HISTOMORPHOMETRICAL STUDY OF MULTINUCLEATED GIANT CELLS OF GIANT CELL TUMOR OF BON BY AUTOMATIC IMAGE ANALYSIS SYSTEM

The histomorphometry of ten cases of giant cell tumor of bone was studied using an automatic image analysis system and eight criteria of measurements were analysed. The study showed that this system provided a new technique in medical research and that similar multinucleated giant cells in various lesions of bone may be distinguished with bone histomorphometry. This method will form the basis for the reconstruction of three demensional structure of cells.
