Abstract

For high-precision objective histological determination of the prescription of damage to internal organs over a long period of time, a systematic approach was used based on digital azimuthally invariant polarization, Mueller-matrix and tomographic methods for studying temporal changes in the molecular and polycrystalline structure of brain, liver and kidney samples in the postmortem period. It was revealed that the linear change in the magnitude of statistical moments of the 1st - 4th orders, characterizing the distribution of data from digital azimuthally invariant polarization, Muller-matrix and tomographic methods, is interconnected with the duration of damage to internal organs in the time interval from 1 hour up to 120 hours. On this basis, a new algorithm for digital histological determination of the age of damage is proposed.
