Cytomorphological Differentiation of Follicular Lymphoma Grades 1-2 and Non-Neoplastic Lymphoid Tissues Using ImageJ.
Computer-assisted image analysis provides low-cost, objective way to diagnose challenging follicular lymphoma cases.
This pilot study applies ImageJ morphometric analysis to cytology specimens to differentiate follicular lymphoma grades 1-2 from non-neoplastic lymphoid tissues, providing quantitative parameters to aid diagnostically challenging cases. The approach offers a low-cost, accessible computer-assisted methodology for FL cytologic diagnosis.
