Introduction Development of computational methodologies for processing microscopic images is a new health-physical method. It is laser polarimetry of histological sections taken from biological tissues [1-3]. This method based on measurements of the coordinate distributions (polarization maps) in the plane of polarization states of histological sections microscopic images of biological tissues. This method provides a new, inaccessible to the histological and mathematical methods of analysis, information on the optical anisotropy (linear and circular birefringence) of multiscale structural elements of different biological objects. At the same time, a complex analysis of the polarization maps of a tissue specimen is azimuthally dependent on the probing beam polarization plane and sample rotation angle. It makes it difficult to use this method in comparative research groups of histological sections with different pathologies. Thus, further progress of laser polarimetry may be related with the development of azimuthally stable methods of direct measuring the parameters of linear and circular birefringence. Solution of this task lies in using Mueller-matrix mapping with the so-called rotational invariants. It has been shown in the works [4-6] that the matrix elements M44(Θ) = const are azimuthally stable and independent of the sample rotation angle (Θ). It has been determined that in the case of optically thin (extinction coefficient τ ≤ 0.1) layers, the M44(Θ) value is preferably defined by phase anisotropy mechanisms – linear and circular birefringences [7-18]. Separation of these mechanisms                  circular linear 44 44 44 M M M is possible by using spatial- frequency Fourier selection [12, 13].

Theory of the method The following model concepts have been assumed [1-3] by us as the basis for analyzing the processes of modulation of laser radiation by the network of biological layers with linear and circular birefringence:  optical anisotropy of these structures is characterized by the distribution of the coordinate matrix element, where the direction of the optical axis is the phase shift between linearly polarized orthogonal components of the light beam amplitude;  the optical anisotropic component is formed by spherolitic crystals (l ~ 5…10μm; L ≈ l) with predominantly circular birefringence M44(θ), where θ is the polarization plane rotation angle. 3. Optical realization of spatial-frequency of Fourier selection of endometrium Fig. 1 presents a diagram of laser Fourier polarimeter with spatial-frequency filtration [9]. Illumination of the sample under study was performed by the parallel ( = 10 4 μm) laser beam of He-Ne ( = 0.6328 μm, W = 5.0 mW). The polarization light source consisted of quarter-wave plates 3, 5 and polarizer 4, it formed a right circularly polarized beam. Section of endometrium was placed in the focal plane of polarization microobjective 7 (focal distance 30 mm, aperture 0.1, magnification 4×). Behind the Fourier focal plane the vignetting diaphragm was located, its size changed within the range of 2 to 300 pix. Polarization microobjective 8 (focal distance 30 mm, aperture 0.1, magnification 4×) was located at the focal length from the frequency plane of lens 7 and, thus, performed inverse Fourier transform of the filtered out polarization field of laser radiation. The coordinate distribution of the intensity of these fields, polarizationally filtered by the quarter-wave plate 9 and polarizer 10, was registered in the plane of CCD-camera 11 (The Imaging Source DMK 41AU02.AS, monochrome 1/2" CCD, Sony ICX205AL (progressive scan); resolution 1280×960; light sensitive area size 7600×6200 μm; sensitivity 0.05 lx; dynamic range 8 bit; SNR 9 bit; deviation of photosensitive characteristics from linear is no more than 15%). It provided the range of measuring the structural elements of the polycrystalline network with the resolution of 2– 2000 μm [18-22]. The matrix element M44 was calculated for each probing beam within every pixel (m×n)                              9090 9090 00 00 44 5.0 II II II II II II M .

To quantify the coordinate distributions, we used statistical analysis [7-10]. We calculated a set of statistical moments of the 1 st to 4 th orders Zj =1;2;3;4 by using the following algorithms:     N i iq N Z 1 1 1 ,     N i iq N Z 1 2 2 1 ,       N i iq NZ Z 1 3 3 2 3 11 ,       N i iq NZ Z 1 4 4 2 4 11 .

Experimental results and discussion As objects of investigation, we chose two groups of optically-thin (extinction coefficient τ ≈ 0.087…0.098) films with single scattering endometrium of donors (36 samples – group 1) and patients with pathology (36 samples – group 2). The samples were prepared on a freezing microtome, using a standard technique. From the optical point of view, these samples are characterized by transformation of polarization without depolarization. Fig. 2 shows the classic microscopic images of samples of both groups. As can be seen, the coordinate large-scale structure of these classic microscopic images is similar to each other. This fact makes it difficult for histological differentiation of endometrium. 5. Spatial-frequency Fourier polarimetry of linear birefringence in endometrium For the purpose of choosing optimal conditions of spatial-frequency filtration, the following range Δr = 2…50 pix of possible sizes of the vignetting diaphragm. The criterion for choosing the diaphragm size is the simultaneous change of the set of statistic moments Zj =1;2;3;4 of M44. In our case the optimal size was Δr = 30 pix. Fig. 2. Microscopic images of the endometrium: group 1 (a) and group 2 (b). This geometric size was chosen for comparative investigations of optical anisotropy of the fibrilar networks of the endometrium tissue that is characterized by coordinate distributions of rotational invariant M44(δ) (Fig. 3).

Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 167 Fig. 4. “High-frequency” coordinate maps M44(θ) (1),(3), histograms (2),(4) of the linear birefringence distribution of the endometrium samples in the group 1 (1),(2) and group 2 (3),(4). A comparative analysis of aggregate parameters that characterize matrix maps M44(δ) of linear birefringence of large-scale optically anisotropic networks of the endometrium samples revealed some discrepancies between them. Namely, the main extrema of histograms in the distributions of random matrix maps M44(δ) values for histological sections of both types are localized in different areas. Thus, the most probable M44(δ) ~ 0.3 value is for the group 1 (Fig. 3(2)); for the sample 2 M44(δ) ~ 0.6 (Fig. 3(4)). The revealed peculiarity, in our opinion, is related with a more developed structure of the endometrium of patient with pathology. The quantitative differences between matrix maps M44(δ) of the protein matrices of the endometrium of both types illustrate average values and standard deviations of the set of statistic Zi =1;2;3;4 parameters summarized in Table 1. Also, let us introduce the specificity parameter Sp =a (a + b) –1 (a, b are the numbers of the correct and incorrect diagnoses within each group) in differentiation of normal endometriosis. A comparative analysis of the data of laser- frequency Fourier polarimetry for linear birefringence of the endometrium in both groups of patients revealed sensitivity to differentiation of these states of all the statistic moments of the 1 st to the 4 th orders with the specificity level Sp ~ 78…83% (printed in grey color in Table 1).

Spatial-frequency Fourier polarimetry of circular birefringence in endometrium Diagnostic possibilities for differentiation of pathologically changed samples of endometrium tissue, using the method of high frequency spatial-frequency Fourier-domain polarimetry of circular birefringence employing opaque filter, illustrate probable dependences of matrix maps M44(θ) and are adduced in the series in Fig. 4. Comparing the findings about the structure of the distributions of circular birefringence index under the conditions of high frequency filtration of laser field radiation, it is the range of expansion of the random values that changes M44(θ) for a histogram of the matrix map at the expense of a “pathologic” increase of the endometrium tissue.

A comparative analysis revealed the following condition with a high level of specificity (78% ≤ Sp ≤ 83%) of uterus tissue parameters (depicted in grey color in Table 2):  statistic moments of the 1 st and 2 nd of orders θ(m×n),  the differences between the values are within the range from 2 to 3.5 times. 7. Conclusions A set of criteria for polarization-phase differentiation of endometrium (normal and endometriosis) has been revealed and substantiated:  statistical moments of the 1 st – 4 th orders that characterize distribution of azimuthally stable matrix element M44(δ) are defined by linear birefringence of the endometrium;  statistical moments of the 1 st – 4 th orders that characterize distribution of azimuthally stable matrix element M44(θ) are defined by circular birefringence of the endometrium.
