Which risk increases when birefringent material degrades in vivo?

💡 Explanation

Birefringent biomedical implants rely on polarization; degradation introduces imperfections causing light scattering during optical coherence tomography with reduced polarization-maintaining ability. This reduced precision affects resolution, because polarization effects are attenuated, therefore hindering fine detail rather than other mechanisms affecting bulk properties.
