Figure 1 (A) Representative DIA histogram of a normal patient. DNA histograms showing cell distributions based on nuclear DNA content. 2C represents cells in the diploid range while 4C indicates tetraploid cells. Cells falling between 2C and 4C are considered to be aneuploid. (B) The brush cytology specimen demonstrates normal biliary epithelium sampled from the same patient as Figure 1A.

(B) Representative brush cytology specimen from same patient as in 2A showing malignant cells. Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2004 2, DOI: ( /S (04) )
