Description
Set counted only for insideFrame, no forbidden-edge contact, referencePresent, and lookupPresent false.
Histology counting uses eligible objects, sampled areas, exclusions, and reference planes. The chosen denominator and boundary rules affect the result, while actual object identification and sampling validity require separate review.
Set counted only for insideFrame, no forbidden-edge contact, referencePresent, and lookupPresent false.
When to use this tool
Use Histological Object Disector Inclusion Tag when you need one supplied counting or support component under an explicit protocol.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter referencePresent, lookupPresent, touchesForbiddenEdge, insideFrame. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read counted, lostAcrossPlane. Inspect counted, lostAcrossPlane before interpreting the associated values.
Set counted only for insideFrame, no forbidden-edge contact, referencePresent, and lookupPresent false. Separately report lostAcrossPlane for reference presence without lookup presence.1

| touchesForbiddenEdge | Touches Forbidden Edge | Required. Boolean. |
| insideFrame | Inside Frame | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The disappearance direction is reference-to-lookup; the second flag ignores frame eligibility and no stereological sampling design, object matching, or diagnostic interpretation is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the full stereological or image-analysis method and appropriate professional interpretation before drawing a tissue conclusion.
