Abstract
Peritoneal metastases are characterized by significant disruptions in the extracellular matrix. Hence, the scattering cross sections of malignant and benign lesions and surrounding background tissues are distinct. In this work, Monte Carlo based regression was used to develop an empirical relation to extract the scattering power of tissue based on co- and cross-polarized RGB reflectance images of tissue. The empirical relation improved the sensitivity of lesion detection, and discrimination accuracy of malignant and benign lesions. The proposed empirical equation is both accurate and simple, paving the way for real-time diagnostic applications.
