Backscattering Mueller matrix polarimetry estimates microscale anisotropy and orientation in complex brain tissue structure
We demonstrate that backscattering Mueller matrix PLI shows potential as a tool for microstructural dMRI validation in thick tissue specimens. Performing complete polarimetry can provide directional characterization and potentially microscale anisotropy information not available by conventional PLI alone.
