A method combining morphological granulometry with Mie theory to determine optical scattering in biological tissues was proposed. Otsu’s method was applied to binarize phase-contrast images. Binary morphological granulometry was used to estimate size density distribution of the tissue samples based on the binary phase-contrast images. Our results showed that the optical parameters associated with light scattering in tissue could be quantitatively determined by combining size density distribution with Mie theory. It was suggested that this unique method could be used to characterize biological tissues for disease diagnosis.
