A computer-assisted morphometric quantitative analysis of iron overload in liver biopsies. A comparison with histological and biochemical methods.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to evaluate a new method of image analysis used to quantify the iron load in routinely processed liver biopsies. Sixty-four liver biopsies from the same number of patients were studied. Both biochemical determination of iron concentration and histopathological semiquantification and quantification were performed. The latter was performed on Perls-stained liver sections by a semiautomatic...
