The new parameters of lymphangiogenic histological images. The experience, based on investigation of 48 juvenile papillary thyroid cancers
The aims of our research were to determine the predictive abilities of the image processing and linear regression applied to the sphere of thyroid oncology, where the target of investigation was a fact of metastatic expansion of the tumor to the cervical nodes. In accordance to our experiments, the most suitable and adequate image parameter was the relative part of small objects which fitted the equation slope as a significant predictor of the metastatic presence. Future research should be directed at the investigation of predictive abilities of image parameters in statistical models applied in various spheres of histopathology and medicine.
