Multi-resolution analysis on the spatial refractive index inhomogeneities in the connective tissue regions of human
cervix reveals clear signature of multifractality. We have thus developed an inverse analysis strategy for extraction and
quantification of the multifractality of spatial refractive index fluctuations from the recorded light scattering signal. The method is based on Fourier domain pre-processing of light scattering data using Born approximation, and its subsequent analysis through Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis model. The method has been validated on several mono- and multi-fractal scattering objects whose self-similar properties are user controlled and known a-priori. Following successful validation, this approach has initially been explored for differentiating between different grades of precancerous human cervical tissues.
