The research done shows that wide functional possibilities of spectrophotometry method are not used in medical diagnostics invivo and insitu in full measure. To describe backscatter radiation, we analyzed morphological features of cells and tissues and selected a suitable simplified mathematical solution to the problem of scattering on the basis of refractive index, shape and size of cells and their organelles. Moreover, we examined the sensitivity of formulas to each parameter. Finally, we defined the function from the anatomical characteristics of tissue structure at the cellular level to transport scattering coefficient.
