Full text not available from this repository.In rheumatology and joint research, as in other fields, a purely descriptional appqoach to morphology cannot satisfy the exactions of modern clinical medicine. Investigators now appreciate the need to gauge pathological changes and their response to treatment by quantifying susceptible structural parameters. But the desired information respecting three-dimensional structures must be gleaned from either actual or virtual two-dimensional sections through the tissue. This information can be obtained only if the laws governing stereology are respected. In this chapter, the stereological principles that must be applied, and the practical methods that have been devised, to yield unbiased estimates of the most commonly determined structural parameters, namely, volume, surface area and number, are summarized.
