To describe a computer-assisted histological method for the quantitative evaluation of bone biopsies in patients with skeletal disorders.
Prepared undecalcified sections from iliac crest biopsies and photographed cancellous bone structures.
Scanned standard photographic prints using a digital computer-linked sensing device to extract structural measurements.
Quantified uncalcified osteoid surface areas visually during photography and semi-quantitatively assessed lesions of hyperparathyroidism.
The computerized scanning system established objective quantitative histological criteria to define osteoporosis and osteomalacia.
Visual and digital assessment provided semi-quantitative grading to determine the skeletal severity of hyperparathyroidism.
