Investigation of 2D Mueller matrix structure of biological tissues for pre-clinical diagnostics of their pathological states

The interconnection between the geometry of biological tissue (BT) structure and their polarization properties has been studied. It has been shown that for physiologically normal BT, the polarization properties of radiation scattered on architectonic nets formed by protein fibrils have a fractal character. Pathological changes of BT architectonics are accompanied by the transformation of self-similar structure of 2D Mueller-matrix elements into stochastic and statistic ones.
