Abstract
⺠We use fractal analysis to evaluate ultrastructural changes in UV-induced apoptosis. ⺠Cell images obtained by optical microscopy were subjected to fractal analysis. ⺠Celullar fractal dimension and nuclear lacunarity decrease in apoptotic cells. ⺠Fractal analysis detects apoptotic changes earlier than the conventional methods. ⺠Fractal analysis is an affordable method for early detection of apoptosis.
