Automated Nerve Fibres Identification and Morphometry Analysis with Neural Network Based Tool in MATLAB

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2020 Jun 26:272:203-204. doi: 10.3233/SHTI200529.

Abstract

Analyses of nerve histology are core assays in basic and applied research and even in clinical setting. Detailed report on nerve morphology may unbiased indicate the current state of a peripheral nerve. Manual method requires trained technician and is a time-consuming procedure. Available plug-ins to well known image processors are limited in use and data outcomes. Thus, the aim of the study was to create a tool for fast and repeatable analysis of a nerve section image. As a results we get very high precision of analysis in shorter time.

Keywords: Axon evaluation; morphometric analysis.
