The features of polarization tomography of optically anisotropic architectonic nets of biotissues (BT) of different morphological structures have been investigated. The peculiarities of phase mapping of skin derma, muscular and bone BT have been experimentally studied. The interrelation between the BT structure and physiological state of BT has been determined. The criteria of early diagnostics of the appearance of degenerative-dystrophic and pathological changes in the structure of BT optically anisotropic architectonics have been revealed.
Key words: polarimetry, birefringence, biotissues
