Abstract

A model of lymphedema was developed using laboratory animals. During lymphatic edema enhancement, a study was made of changes in the structure of biological tissues by interference optical methods in the near infrared region of the spectrum. Statistical methods were applied for describing textures of the experimental images of the affected tissues, informative features of the dynamics of fibrosis development were identified.
