Differential diagnostics of aseptic and septic loosening of the cup of the endoprosthesis of the artificial hip joint by the methods of polarization tomography

Manuscript contains: Structural-logical scheme and analytical description of the differential diagnosis of aseptic and septic loosening of the artificial hip joint endoprosthesis using the methods of differential Mueller-matrix mapping of circular birefringence (CB) distributions of polycrystalline synovial fluid (SF) films. Results of statistical analysis of the distributions of CB of polycrystalline SF films of patients from the control group and groups with different severity of the hip joint pathology. Results of establishing the strength of the differential Mueller-matrix mapping method of the distributions of CB polycrystalline films of SF by means of information analysis based on sensitivity determination, specificity and accuracy of the polarization tomography technique.
