Why adopt a new measuring method in hepatology?
One fundamental question is whether hepatology researchers or practitioners need to adopt a metrical method of tissue analysis in order to confront the everyday problems they already solve in a less precise but what they still consider to be a satisfactory manner. Viral inflammation is a dynamic process influenced by a variety of factors that generate changes in the shapes (wrinkledness) of liver tissue lesions. However, studying the evolution of liver tissue status can use no more than one biopsy, which must therefore be examined in as much detail as possible, and this makes any attempt to improve precision crucial. It is clear that the status of the organ cannot be defined quantitatively without an appropriate technology that is capable of: (1) discriminating the most representative observables; (2) eliminating imprecise identifications and measurements; (3) using a suitable metrical unit for measuring the irregularly shaped elements of the tissue; (4) standardizing the measurement o
