Popis: Fractal dimension analysis is a novel computational method that quantifies the intricacy and irregularity of structures, and has demonstrated potential in numerous medical applications, such as the analysis of cancerous tissues. Our study investigated the utility of fractal dimension analysis in differentiating normal mucosa from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We used a retrospective methodology to analyse the histopathological data of 50 OSCC cases and 25 healthy oral mucosa samples, which were sourced from the obtained data. A statistically significant difference (p
