Polarization-phase filtering of laser images of biological liquids

Our work is aimed at searching the possibilities to perform diagnostics and differentiation of structures inherent to liquid-crystal networks of blood plasma with various pathologies (health - breast cancer) by using the method to determine the coordinate distributions of phase shifts (phase maps) between orthogonal components of laser radiation amplitudes with the following statistical, fractal and singular analyses of these distributions.
