Polarized light point measurements and wide-field imaging have been studied for many
years in an effort to develop accurate and information-rich tissue diagnostic methods …

In this paper, we take the transmission 3× 3 linear polarization Mueller matrix images of the
unstained thin slices of human cervical and thyroid cancer tissues, and analyze their …

The contrast mechanism of medical endoscopy is mainly based on metrics of optical
intensity and wavelength. As another fundamental property of light, polarization can not only …

Tissue polarimetric imaging measures Mueller matrices of tissues or Stokes vectors of the
emergent light from tissues (normally using incidence with a fixed polarization state) over a …

Mueller matrix polarimetric imaging has shown potential in tissue diagnosis but is
challenging to implement endoscopically. In this work, a narrow band 3× 3 Mueller matrix …

Calibration, quantification, and standardization of the polarimetric instrumentation, as well as
interpretation and understanding of the obtained data, require the development and use of …

The measurement of soft tissue fiber orientation is fundamental to pathophysiology and
biomechanical function in a multitude of biomedical applications. However, many existing …
