Benford's Law in histology by Jasmine Caballero, Daniel Gonzalez, Dustin La Fleur, Sai Karan Vamsi Guda, Cynthia Duran, Kaitlin Sime

“…Of the seven cancer patients, five were previously diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, and two were diagnosed with adenomas/adenocarcinoma.The study found that of the 13 data categories provided by QuPath, such as cell size, nucleus size, and color absorbance, two met the Chi-square goodness of fit (χ2) criteria compared to Benford's Law of Naturalness, providing the most significant feedback. Due to QuPath's inability to distinguish all cytoplastic borders accurately, categories that depict size measurements were not used. …”
