Microscope Image Analysis in Biomaterial Testing

  • Chapter
Interfaces in Medicine and Mechanics—2

Abstract

The use of the computer-based image analysis belongs to the new methods of biocompatibility testing- When materials were implanted subcutaneously in animals the cells of the connective tissue capsule can give a good standard for the evaluation of biocompatibi1ity. The use of image processing systems allows the automation of a great number of measurings and test techniques. It is also possible to get quantitative information about cell- and hämocompatibi1ity testing. With the help of the automatic microscopic image analysis accuracy of morphometric methods increased and scientists time was saved.
