Irregularity and complexity are the main features of every biological system, including human tissues, cells and sub-cellular components. These two properties of the organized biological matter cannot be quantified by means of the classical Euclidean geometry, which is able to measure regular object, practically unknown in Nature. The aims of our paper were a) to underline the importance of the shape of a biological structure, b) to investigate the fractal geometry for quantifying the liver histo-pathological structures, and c) to explain the significance of several terms used in the fractal analysis of complex biological systems.
不规则性和复杂性是每个生物系统的主要特征，包括人体组织、细胞和亚细胞成分。有组织的生物物质的这两个特性无法通过经典的欧几里得几何来量化，因为欧几里得几何只能测量自然界中几乎不存在的规则物体。我们论文的目的是：a）强调生物结构形状的重要性；b）研究分形几何以量化肝脏组织病理学结构；c）解释复杂生物系统分形分析中使用的几个术语的意义。
