Biological images often contain structural formations, especially those derived from neural tissues. It is known that neurons are divided into several types, but distinguishing these types remains a constant problem. The main feature of the fractal dimension is proposed in this article. The possibilities of performing fractal analysis using the mass-radius method are investigated below. The obtained results were analyzed based on the mass-radius method. In addition, the article presents the capabilities and characteristics of the software tool designed for calculating the mass-radius method.
