Abstract
The use of artificial neural networks was explored as a tool for the evaluation of DNA ploidy spectra as part of an expert diagnostic system for the objective evaluation of stratified epithelia using high-resolution karyometry. The classification rates obtained by multilayer nets compare favorably with those obtained from more traditional methods. This suggests that these techniques could provide useful tools for expert diagnostic systems in histopathology when applied to appropriate problems.<>
