Automated virtual microscopy of gastric biopsies

Automated virtual microscopy of specimens from gastrointestinal biopsies is based on cytometric parameters of digitized histological sections. To our knowledge, cytometric parameters of gastritis and of adenocarcinoma have yet to be fully characterized. Our objective was to classify gastritis and adenocarcinoma based on cytometric parameters. We hypothesized that automated virtual microscopy using this novel classification can reliably diagnose gastritis and adenocarcinoma.
