Abstract

This work is directed to the investigation of the scope of the technique of laser polarimetry of oncological changes of the human prostate tissue under the conditions of multiple scattering, which presents a more general and real experimental clinical situation. To compare the above mentioned scope of biotissue laser polarimetry on the first stage the research of human prostate tissue in the conditions of single scattering was performed. The analysis of the obtained results showed high diagnostic sensitivity of statistic moments of the 3^rd and 4^th orders of coordinate distributions of matrix elements of both types of biotissues to the changes of optical-geometric structure.
