Abstract

The paper examines the possibilities of applying the method of laser image phasometry to study the optical-anisotropic structure of biological fluids, specifically human knee joint synovial fluid. The relevance of using new informational parameters to enhance the effectiveness of pathological state diagnostics is substantiated, as traditional laser polarimetry methods lack sufficient sensitivity for optically thin media. An approach for forming coordinate distributions of phase shifts in laser images is proposed, allowing for the generation of phase maps of the synovial fluid's polycrystalline structure. Based on the analysis of these maps, it was established that the statistical characteristics of phase distributions differ significantly across various pathological states of the knee joint, including rheumatoid arthritis, postoperative synovitis, and septic arthritis. The results confirm the high sensitivity and specificity of the phasometry method for the clinical diagnosis of traumatic and inflammatory joint diseases
