Mueller-Matrix Interferometric Multifractal Scaling of Optically Anisotropic Architectonics of Diffuse Blood Facies: Fundamental and Applied Aspects

Abstract

The article describes a technique for digital holographic reconstruction of complex amplitude fields in diffuse blood facies using laser polarization-interference phase scanning to isolate a single scattered component of the object field. This method serves as the basis for developing algorithms for Mueller-matrix reconstruction of linear and circular birefringence parameters in the polycrystalline architectonics of blood facies. Statistical (central moments of the 1st–4th orders) and multifractal analyses (fractal dimension spectra) are applied to study the optical anisotropy maps of polycrystalline networks during blood dehydration. The study explores a practical application in the differential diagnosis of blood loss volume, identifying higher-order central moments (skewness, kurtosis) as sensitive markers. The method achieved a maximum accuracy of 92.9% in differentiating blood loss volume.
