@conference{10902/2649, year = {2009}, month = {9}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/2649}, abstract = {In this work, we present a method for the analysis of biological tissues based on the use of equivalent liquid crystal textures. From a measured Mueller matrix of the tissue sample (in this case, a healthy porcine skin region), the Lu-Chipman polar decomposition is performed. Then, we focus on the study of tissue anisotropy. Considering a planar liquid crystal with the polymers organized in a way analogous to that of collagen fibers in tissue, the retardance component of the tissue can be assigned to an equivalent liquid crystal. From this matrix, a further study enables to extract more information about the biological tissue microstructural characteristics.}, publisher = {URSI 2009, XXIV Simposium Nacional de la Unión Científica Internacional de Radio, Santander}, title = {Análisis polarimétrico de tejidos biológicos mediante texturas de cristal líquido equivalentes}, author = {Fanjul Vélez, Félix and Ortega Quijano, Noé and Salas García, Irene and Arce Diego, José Luis}, }
