Preliminary results indicate that enhanced discrimination signatures can be obtained for certain types of early-stage lung cancers based on their depolarization, backscattered intensity and retardance characteristics.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Measurement Science and Technology1122 Zervakis Michalis Ζερβακης Μιχαλης Livanos, Georges G .C .
