Fractal Analysis Using the Mass-Radius Method
Main Article Content
Abstract
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.
