[Quantitative image analysis as a scanning method in histopathological routine diagnostics applied for instance to chronical liver diseases (author's transl)].

A method is given by means of which histological image contents can quantitatively be determined with the help of electronic image analysis. A case of a chronical liver disease is quoted as instance for the application of the method in routine diagnosis. A possibility is shown to open quantitative and reproducible computation to descriptive histopathology.
