  • Patent number: 6031930
    Abstract: A system is provided for analysis of neoplasia in tissue at a very early stage as well as later stages of its progression and for reporting the progression or regression of the neoplasia. The system performs multi-parametric measurements of the morphological structure and texture of the tissue structure and correlates these measurements on a common morphological grading scale. The system performs certain tissue measurements which are more highly discriminating for one kind of neoplasia and performs other tissue measurement, which are more highly discriminating, for another kind of neoplasia. Diverse tissue measurements may be made on diverse tissue types such as breast, colon, or cervix tissue, etc. from animals or humans which tissue has subjected to different carcinogens or chemopreventive agents. The measurements are made in different units and on different scales; and then these measurements are combined and reported on a valid, objective, common, universal scale.
