MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS AND COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF SALIVARY GLAND TUMORS

Abstract

This study presents the results of a morphometric analysis and comparative evaluation of salivary gland tumors using the Fiji ImageJ software. Digital microscopic images of histological specimens were analyzed to determine key cellular and tissue parameters, including nuclear diameter, cell diameter, cell area, nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, mitotic index, nuclear shape index, and nuclear density coefficient. Measurements were obtained from multiple visual fields and statistically compared between benign and malignant tumors.
