Differences in light scattering properties of a tumorigenic and a non-tumorigenic model for tissue were demonstrated using a variety of light scattering techniques, the majority of which are in vivo compatible. In addition to determining that light scattering differences exist, models for the microarchitectural changes responsible for the light scattering differences were developed.
