Automated Quantification of DNA Aneuploidy by Image Cytometry as an Adjunct for the Cytologic Diagnosis of Malignant Effusion

DNA aneuploidy is a cancer biomarker, which may have a potential diagnostic value in body effusion specimen. DNA aneuploidy is determined by measuring the DNA content of tested cells and comparing them with diploid cells (2c). In order to assess the value of automated DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM) i...
