Laser diagnostics of biofractals

An optical approach to the problem of modeling and diagnostics of the structures of biofractal formations was considered in relation to human bone tissue. A model was proposed for the optical properties of this tissue, including three levels of fractal organisation: microcrystaline, macrocrystallne,...

Description
Summary:An optical approach to the problem of modeling and diagnostics of the structures of biofractal formations was considered in relation to human bone tissue. A model was proposed for the optical properties of this tissue, including three levels of fractal organisation: microcrystaline, macrocrystallne, and architectural. The studies were based on laser coherent polarrimetry ensuring the retrieval of the fullest information about the optical and polarisation properties of bone tissue. A method was developed for contactless noninvasive diagnostics of the orientational and mineralogical structure of bone tissue considered as a biofractal. (lasers in medicine)
