- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to perform an evaluation of representative size and shape parameters that characterise the hepatocytes in normal rat livers. A set of thirty digital images of rat hepatocytes in normal rat livers, randomly selected from a database, were evaluated. Image processing and analysis of digital images were performed with ImageJ and MRI Cell Image Analyzer (MRI-CIA) softwares. We found a set of representative size and shape parameters for quantification of hepatocytes in healthy rats. The central tendency and dispersion measure of the parameters were expressed by the mean value and standard deviation. The computerized geometric morphometric analysis was in agreement with the ultrastructural observations. Geometrical morphometric analysis of the normal rat livers structure is an efficient noninvasive prediction tool for analysis of rat histological images.
