Description
Check recorded measurement-axis count only; no tissue adequacy or diagnosis is inferred.
Laboratory records distinguish specimen identity, sampling coverage, retained quantities, processing times, image scale, and measurement uncertainty. Areas, volumes, counts, and source-support flags measure different aspects of a record. A local calculation does not identify tissue or establish diagnostic adequacy.
Check recorded measurement-axis count only; no tissue adequacy or diagnosis is inferred.
When to use this tool
Use Biopsy Dimension Closure Flag when you need this specimen-record, sampling, processing-time, dimensional, or uncertainty calculation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter dimensions, expectedAxes. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read complete, missingAxes, extraAxes. Inspect complete before interpreting the associated values.
For positive integer expectedAxes and nonnegative dimensions return complete on exact dimension count, missingAxes=max(0,expected-count), and extraAxes=max(0,count-expected).1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| dimensions | Dimensions | Required. Array of finite number; maximum items 256. |
| expectedAxes | Expected Axes | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| complete | Complete | Required. Boolean. |
| missingAxes | Missing Axes | Required. Safe integer. |
| extraAxes | Extra Axes | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Zero-valued dimensions are permitted and axis identities are not represented. Completeness means a count match, not correct units, anatomical orientation, specimen adequacy, or a clinical measurement interpretation.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use validated laboratory procedures, traceable measurements, and authenticated specimen records for a complete assessment. Check the relevant sampling and processing assumptions before interpreting a local quantity.
