自动图像分析技术(Automatic imageanalysis technology,AIAT)是晚近发展起来的一门新型定量检测技术。它可直接对单个细胞或石蜡组织切片内细胞的各种化学成分以及细胞(核)的形态特征进行简便、快速的定量测定,从而获得各种生化和形态特征的定量参数。尤其在肿瘤生物病理学研究中的应用日益增多,可直接为临床提供有关肿瘤生物学特性的定量信息,因而引起人们的极大兴趣和关注。目前,有关AIAT在肿瘤DNA定量细胞化学研究中应用报道不 Automatic image analysis technology (AIAT) is a new type of quantitative detection technology recently developed. It can directly and rapidly quantify various chemical constituents of cells and the morphological characteristics of cells (nuclei) in individual cells or paraffin sections to obtain quantitative parameters of various biochemical and morphological characteristics. In particular, the increasing use of tumor biopathology studies can directly provide clinically quantitative information on the biological characteristics of tumors, thus arousing great interest and attention. At present, there is no report on the application of AIAT in the study of quantitative cytochemistry of tumor DNA.
