The goal of the present paper is to show that certain cytometric (morphological, photometric and textural) features of isolated cell nuclei can be useful for discrimination and classification of two thyroid tumour classes, namely, follicular adenoma and follicular carcinoma which cannot in general be visually discriminated in cytological smears. Several linear classifiers both at cell and specimen levels are proposed, in order to estimate the true error rate of these classifiers, a ‘hold one specimen out’ scheme is employed.
