Determination of the postmortem time in acute co and ethanol intoxication using polarization-phase mueller-matrix tomography

Abstract

Introduction. Determination of postmortem time remains a relevant area of research of scientists around the world. Despite much efforts applied in this area, there is no a method that is sufficiently accurate, reproducible and suitable for the practical work of forensic medical experts, in particular in case of poisoning by toxic substances. To solve this issue, we suggest the use of polarization-phase Müller-matrix tomography of human biological tissues.
