Unified polarization imaging theory for preclinical disease detection and diagnosticsDetecting pathological tissue changes before clinical symptoms emerge requires imaging methods with high structural sensitivity. Polarization-Based Optical Imaging for Clinical Diagnostics presents a unified phenomenological theory integrating polarization interferometry, Mueller and Jones matrix mapping, digital holography, and phase scanning. Edited by a team of optical ...

This book explores the early-stage detection of cancer using polarized light. It discusses the diverse properties of the light (temporal and spatial coherence, polarization, fluorescence, etc.) that can be used non-invasively as an optical technique for recognizing precancerous lesions, which could become a reliable and accurate method for cancer screening. The search for the effective means for cancer screening is of particular interest to scientific and medical communities, because cance...

This book provides an essential overview of the basic principles of imaging modalities, accompanied by examples of their applications in modern clinical and associated pre-clinical studies. The monograph is based on the original results of investigation of the efficiency use of laser light and Mueller-matrix polarimetry approach for assessment of myocardial tissues towards confirmation the cause of death. A morphological analysis of necrotic changes in the myocardial tissue of patients tha...
