Applying limiting entropy to quantify the alignment of collagen fibers by polarized light imaging

Collagen alignment has shown clinical significance in a variety of diseases. For instance, vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is characterized by homogenization of collagen fibers with increasing risk of malignant transformation. To date, a variety of imaging techniques have been developed to visualize c...
