Shtereom I Simple Windows Based Software for Stereology. Volume and Number Estimations

Stereology has been earlier defined by Wiebel (1970) to be: “a body of mathematical methods relating to three dimensional parameters defining the structure from two dimensional measurements obtainable on sections of the structure.” SHTEREOM I is a simple windows-based software for stereological estimation. In this first part, we describe the implementation of the number and volume estimation to...

Simple Windows-based software for the control of laser scanning confocal microscopes.

Rapid advances in computer processing power and the appearance of low cost, high speed multifunction data acquisition hardware makes the control of confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSMs) with standard laboratory hardware a potentially straightforward task. This paper describes software designed to control a Biorad MRC 600 scan head under Windows 2000 or XP. Using a single high speed, multi...

I-4: A Simple and Safe Technique for Varicocele Surgery

s:2127:"Varicocele is the most common pathologic finding in men in infertility study programs and is the most treatable cause of male infertility. Its correction is performed by different surgical techniques, none of which is yet acknowledged as the "gold standard." Some of them, especially the microsurgical ones, are very time consuming and thus expensive; furthermore, all varicocele surgery i...

Stereology: a novel technique for rapid assessment of liver volume

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to test the stereology method using several grid sizes for measuring liver volume and to find which grid provides an accurate estimate of liver volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS Liver volume was measured by volumetry in 41 sets of liver MRI. MRI was performed before and after different weight-reducing regimens. Grids of 3, 4, 5, and 6 cm were used to measu...
