Cervical dysplasia is a precancerous condition, and if left untreated, it may lead to cervical cancer, which is the second most common cancer in women. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in nuclear properties of the H&amp;E-stained biopsy material between low CIN and high CIN cases and associate those properties with the CIN grade.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. The clinical material comprised hematoxylin and eosin- (H&amp;E-) stained biopsy specimens from lesions of 44 patients diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Four or five nonoverlapping microscopy images were digitized from each patient\u2019s H&amp;E specimens, from regions indicated by the expert physician. Sixty-three textural and morphological nuclear features were generated for each patient\u2019s images. The Wilcoxon statistical test and the point biserial correlation were used to estimate each feature\u2019s discriminatory power between low CIN and high CIN cases and its correlation with the advancing CIN grade, respectively.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Statistical analysis showed 19 features that quantify nuclear shape, size, and texture and sustain statistically significant differences between low CIN and high CIN cases. These findings revealed that nuclei in high CIN cases, as compared to nuclei in low CIN cases, have more irregular shape, are larger in size, are coarser in texture, contain higher edges, have higher local contrast, are more inhomogeneous, and comprise structures of different intensities.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. A systematic statistical analysis of nucleus features, quantified from the H&amp;E-stained biopsy material, showed that there are significant differences in the shape, size, and texture of nuclei between low CIN and high CIN cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/6358189","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,5]],"date-time":"2018-07-05T23:38:18Z","timestamp":1530833898000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Multifeature
