Abstract

This work is devoted to the study of light scattering in biological tissues. It aims to determine indicators that permit to differentiate between cancerous and normal tissues of a human organ and to seek a mean of therapy transport. For this, we analyzed the intensity and the spectral variation of the scattered light as a function of its scattering direction.

This work gives some main results of the experiment and the simulation. We stepped impressive to discriminate between cancerous and normal tissues of a human organ, such as: Vesicle, Breast.
