abstract = {Objective: To predict the outcome of dysplasia of esophageal epithelium by means of high resolution image analysis (HRIA).
Methods: Asymptomatic adults were examined for balloon cytology of the esophagus in 1983 from Heshun Commune of Linxian County. 93 severe dysplasias and 122 mild dysplasias of the esophagus were selected. By means of an Axiomat-microscope equipped with TV-camera, 100 normal nuclei of well-preserved cells in the intermediate layer of Pap-stained squamous epithelium were randomly examined.
Results: Of the 93 cytologically diagnosed severe dysplasia cases, 24, 14 and 7 progressed to carcinoma in 3, 5 and 9 years, respectively. In the other 48 cases, dysplasia remained stable or regressed to normal. The other cases were used as the control. According to chromatin features, correct diagnosis of cases was achieved by HRIA in 75.0% (18/24), 85.7% (12/14) and 85.7% (6/7) of the cases examined, respectively (P},
