Comparative Study of Modified Mueller Matrix Transformation and Polar Decomposition Parameters for Transmission and Backscattering Tissue Polarimetries

Mueller matrix polarimetry is widely used in biomedical studies and applications, for it can provide abundant microstructural information about tissues. Recently, several methods have been proposed to decompose the Mueller matrix into groups of parameters related to specific optical properties which...
