Histological sections of femoral diaphysis from adult sheep were investigated in this study. The qualitative characteristics in microstructure of the compact bone were examined in anterior, posterior, medial and lateral views; the quantitative ones were assessed using the software Scion Image. Areas, perimeters, minimum and maximum diameters of the Haversian canals, the Haversian systems and th...

INTRODUCTION Dermoid cysts are common, benign, embryologically derived soft tissue cysts that can arise at a variety of craniofacial sites. It is not known whether specific histological variations exist between the different craniofacial sites. This study aims to establish whether inter-site histologic differences exist between periorbital, nasal, scalp, and postauricular dermoid cysts and anal...

In this report, we present a new method of aligning histological sections. First a displacement eld between the two images is computed by block matching. Then we estimate a rigid transformation based on the eld. The process is integrated within a multi-scale scheme. We carefully study the problem of robustness and we propose several ideas to deal with inter-section intensity di erences and back...

The Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) may be used to remove mucosa of organs of the gastro-intestinal tract. A histological analysis was performed on gallbladders treated with a CUSA-mucosectomy to assess the extent and degree of mucosectomy and to evaluate parietal damage. The histological studies performed on three specimens of chronic cholecystitis revealed a complete mucosectomy...
