2D polarization imaging of turbid media.
Cancer normally tends to result in the decrease of tissue elasticity; i.e., the cancerous region is more rigid than the normal surrounding areas. This would appear as differences in the distribution of internal birefringence that could be used to improve image contrast between the cancerous and normal tissue structures. Different filtering techniques are used to enhance the image to help us identify, locate, and diagnose an "object," such as a tumor inside a biological tissue.
