A new method of mueller-matrix diagnostics and differentiation of early oncological changes of the skin derma

Abstract

The paper deals with investigation of the processes of laser radiation transformation by biological crystals networks using the singular optics techniques. The results obtained showed a distinct correlation between the points of characteristic values of coordinate distributions of Mueller matrix (Mik =0,±1) elements and polarization singularities (L- and C-points) of laser transformation of biological crystals networks with the following possibility of Mueller-matrix selection of polarization singularity. The technique of Mueller-matrix diagnostics of pathological changes of skin derma is proposed. Copyright © 2010 Yu. A. Ushenko et al.
