Wavelet analysis of two-dimensional birefringence images of architectonics in biotissues for diagnosing pathological changes.

A method for polarization filtering, correlation processing, and wavelet analysis of coherent images of physiologically normal and necrotically changed (myocardium infarct) muscle tissue is presented. A technique for early optical diagnosis of the appearance of these biological tissues and the course of their degenerative-dystrophic changes is proposed.
