Characterisation of the cartilage/bone interface utilising reflectance spectroscopy

Optical reflection spectra of the cartilage/bone interface from hip joints of cows were studied. When comparing to ultrasonic measurement, it was found that cartilage thickness could be extracted using optical reflectance spectroscopy. For thicker cartilage layers, a high reflection for the wavelengths 400-600 was seen, and for thinner cartilage layers, the characteristic spectra of blood and b...

Rapid discrimination of maggots utilising ATR-FTIR spectroscopy.

Entomological evidence is used in forensic investigations to indicate time since death. The species and age of maggots or flies that are present at the scene can be used when estimating how much time has passed since death. Current methods that are used to identify species and developmental stage of larvae and fly samples are highly subjective, costly and often time consuming processes and requ...

Reflectance spectroscopy of bruises measured in time

Clinical applicability of spectroscopy combined with bruise modeling may be improved if bruises on the same anatomical position have similar values of model parameters. We first investigate if a group of bruises located on the medial arm and measured once, at variable ages of presentation, show similar spectroscopic properties as a single bruise measured in time. Second, we investigate if spect...

A Clinical Raman Spectroscopy System for Real - Time Disease Diagnosis

The advantages of using Raman spectroscopy for disease diagnosis have been investigated extensively in the past. Unlike conventional techniques that probe the structural and anatomical changes associated with disease, the Raman spectroscopy approach is based on detecting the molecular markers of disease progression. While in vitro studies have demonstrated the potential of Raman spectroscopy fo...
