Jones matrix differential diagnostics of weak changes of biological fluids optical anisotropy

The results of Jones matrix mapping of optically thin, non-depolarizing polycrystalline films of synovial fluid (of human joint at reactive and aseptic synovitis) and urine (of healthy donors – patients with albuminuria) are presented. The Jones-matrix model of polarization manifestations of phase anisotropy mechanisms is presented. The method of experimental measurement of coordinate distributions of the values of the modulus and the phase of the Jones matrix elements is suggested. In the framework of statistical and cross-correlation approaches, the maps of the modulus and phase of the Jones-matrix images of optically thin polycrystalline films of human organs with different pathologies are analyzed. A set of objective parameters (statistical and generalized correlation moments) of differential diagnostics of the reactive and aseptic synovitis of the knee joint, as well as of albuminuria was determined with excellent and good balanced precision.
