In previous cytomorphometrical studies applying a microscopic image analysis system it was shown that follicular adenomas and highly differentiated follicular carcinomas of the thyroid gland can be distinguished. Basing on these results, the usefulness of the method was examined in selected cases of routine materials. 143 fine needle biopsies were analysed by means of the image analysis system. Moreover, in 52 cases the results could be checked by histological investigations of surgical samples. In comparison with the cytomorphological findings, the results of the cytomorphometrical analysis demonstrate a higher grade of assurance of the diagnostic statements. It was confirmed, that it is possible to diagnose highly differentiated follicular carcinomas of the thyroid gland with the method demonstrated above.
在先前应用显微图像分析系统的细胞形态计量学研究中，已表明甲状腺滤泡性腺瘤和高分化滤泡癌是可以区分的。基于这些结果，在常规材料的选定病例中检验了该方法的实用性。通过图像分析系统对143例细针穿刺活检进行了分析。此外，在52例病例中，可通过手术样本的组织学检查来核对结果。与细胞形态学结果相比，细胞形态计量学分析结果显示诊断陈述的可信度更高。已证实，用上述方法能够诊断甲状腺高分化滤泡癌。
