Abstract:
A new information optical technique of diagnostics of the structure of polycrystalline films of blood plasma is
proposed. The model of Mueller-matrix description of mechanisms of optical anisotropy of such objects as optical
activity, birefringence, as well as linear and circular dichroism is suggested. The ensemble of informationally topical
azimuthally stable Mueller-matrix invariants is determined. Within the statistical analysis of such parameters
distributions the objective criteria of differentiation of films of blood plasma taken from healthy women and breast
cancer patients were determined. From the point of view of probative medicine the operational characteristics
(sensitivity, specificity and accuracy) of the information-optical method of Mueller-matrix mapping of polycrystalline
films of blood plasma were found and its efficiency in diagnostics of breast cancer was demonstrated. Considered the
prospects of applying the method in experimental medicine for differentiation of tissues of internal organs of healthy and
diabetic rats.
