Medical imaging has become an important part of diagnosing, early detection, and treating cancers. In this paper, a comprehensive survey on various image processing techniques for medical images specifically examined cancer diseases most body sections. These sections are Bone, Liver, Kidney, Breast, Lung, Brain. Detection involves different stages such as classification, segmentation, pre-proce...

Various techniques for detection of blood platelets in tissue section were evaluated in an incremental air embolism model of ischemia in order to further investigate the accumulation of platelets in brains subjected to cell-damaging ischemia. The experimental animals were dogs anesthetized with alpha-chloralose. A new autoradiographic technique was devised that allows precise localization of 11...

Knowing expression patterns of given proteins is very important to understand their functions. Immunostaining analysis with specific antibodies is commonly used to identify cells or tissues expressing proteins of interest. Although this technique is regularly used, it requires high quality of specific antibodies and there is no good quality of antibody available for certain proteins. Alternativ...

This article reviews methods for quantifying the abundance of histological features in thin tissue sections of brain such as neurons, glia, blood vessels, and pathological lesions. The sampling methods by which quantitative measures can be obtained are described. In addition, methods are described for determining the spatial pattern of an object and for measuring the degree of spatial correlati...

Here we describe a modified version of a double fluorescence in situ hybridization (dFISH) method optimized for detecting two mRNAs of interest in fresh frozen brain sections. Our group has successfully used this approach to study gene co-regulation. More specifically, we have used this dFISH method to explore the anatomical organization, neurochemical properties, and the impact of sensory expe...

Recent advances in high-throughput technology facilitate massive data collection and sharing, enabling neuroscientists to explore the brain across a large range of spatial scales. One such form of high-throughput data collection is the construction of large-scale mosaic volumes using light microscopy (Chow et al., 2006; Price et al., 2006). With this technology, researchers can collect and anal...

The effect of aldehyde fixation on NADPH- and NADH-dependent diaphorase (d) histochemistry and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) immunocytochemistry in the brain was investigated by comparing the distribution of these enzymes in in situ nitrocellulose blots of unfixed brain sections with that in aldehyde-fixed brain sections. Substitution of NADPH by NADH yielded no gross differences in cellular dist...

A method is described which combines staining of human brain tissue with subsequent plastination of the sections. Staining of 1-4 mm thick frozen sections with astra blue or aldehydefuchsin provides a sharp contrast between white and grey matter. The plastination results in sections which are durable and convenient to handle. These preparations may be used for teaching purposes in neuroanatomy ...
