Complex degree of mutual polarization of biological tissue coherent images for the diagnostics of their physiological state

J Biomed Opt. 2005 Nov-Dec;10(6):060502. doi: 10.1117/1.2149844.

Abstract

This is the first attempt devoted to the 1st-4th order statistic analysis of the complex degree of mutual polarization of biological tissues coherent images. The ensemble of diagnostic criteria (skewness and kurtosis of two-dimensional distributions of complex degree of mutual polarization) of pathological changes of muscular and connective (skin derma) tissues is defined.
