Significance of nuclear morphometry on fine needle aspirates of breast lesions
Background: FNAC of the breast, although effective for the diagnosis of breast lesions is largely subjective and a minority of cases cannot be classified as benign or malignant due to the morphological overlap. This hinders a definite diagnosis which may sometimes lead to unnecessary surgical biopsy. Morphometry in combination with FNAC is one such method of improving the diagnosis. Objective: ...
متن کاملEvaluating the diagnostic significance of nuclear grooves in thyroid fine needle aspirates with a semiquantitative approach.
OBJECTIVE To clarify the diagnostic significance of nuclear grooves in thyroid fine needle aspirates, to search for other associated nuclear features and to identify possible diagnostic pitfalls. STUDY DESIGN In total, 67 fine needle aspiration cases were retrospectively reviewed for selected nuclear features, including grooves, intranuclear cytoplasmic invaginations, enlargement, pleomorphis...
متن کاملComputerized Diagnosis of Breast Fine-Needle Aspirates
The goal of this work is to determine the accuracy of computer-based image analysis in diagnosing breast fine-needle aspirates (FNA). On 192 FNAs, the computerbased diagnostic accuracy was 97.9%. This is consistent with the 97.5% accuracy projected by machine learning methods during the initial training in 1994 with 569 FNAs. One of the attributes of this system is the rendering of a value that...
متن کاملDiagnostic Fine Needle Aspiration in a Case of Riedel’s Thyroiditis
In Riedel’s thyroiditis, a rare chronic inflammatory disease of thyroid gland, fine needle aspiration is usually non-diagnostic because most often only follicular cells are obtained and not the fibrous material characteristic of this type of thyroiditis. Therefore the diagnosis is often only established by histopathologic study of the surgically obtained biopsy. The illustrated case is a 46-yea...
متن کاملTHE DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION BIOPSY OF HEAD AND NECK MASSES
In an attempt to determine the diagnostic value of FNA biopsy of head and neck masses, we reviewed FNAs performed on target lesions of the head and neck in1 59 patients who subsequently underwent surgery in Khalili hospital dur-. ing a 55 month period. Results ofFNAs were compared with postsurgical histologic diagnoses. These 159 cases were broken down into four categories: thyroid masses ...
