Background: Carious lesions are formed by a complex process of chemical interaction between dental enamel and its environment. They can cause cavities and pain, and are expensive to fix. It is hard to characterize in vivo as a result of environment factors and remineralization by ions in the oral cavity. Objectives: The development of a technique that gives early diagnosis which is non-invasi...

ftr-raman spectra of human dental enamel, both laser-irradiated and untreated, are reported. spectra are compared with hydroxyapatite. it is evident that unlike the co2 laser, the nd/yag laser does not induce any chemical change in dental enamel.

To explore the effectiveness of Raman spectra to diagnose brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), we investigated the Raman spectra of single cell from four different GBM cell lines developed from four different patients and analyzed the spectra. The Raman spectra of brain cancer (GBM) cells were similar in all these cell lines. The results indicate that Raman spectra can offer the experime...

Introduction: Raman spectroscopy, that is a spectroscopic technique based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light, can provide valuable information about molecular vibrations, so using this technique we can study molecular changes in a sample. Material and Methods: In this research, 153 Raman spectra obtained from normal and dried skin samples. Baseline and electrical noise were eliminat...

Raman spectrometers are devices which enable fast and non-contact identification of examined chemicals. These devices utilize the Raman phenomenon to identify unknown and often illicit chemicals (e.g. drugs, explosives) without the necessity of their preparation. Now, Raman devices can be portable and therefore can be more widely used to improve security at public places. Unfortunately, Raman s...

In this report we address the problem of skin fluorescence in feature extraction from Raman spectra of skin lesions. We apply a highly automated neural network method for suppressing skin fluorescence from Raman spectrum of skin lesions before dimension reduction with principal components analysis. By applying the background suppression, the effect of outlier spectrum in the principal component...

We present the method of theoretical calculations of the Raman intensities and the simulated Raman spectra of platinum(II) complexes. Theoretical Raman spectra of the anticancer agents: cisplatin (1), carboplatin (2), cis-[Pt(orotato)(NH3)2] (3), cis[PtCl2(NH3)(2-picoline)], ZD0473 (4), and the two transient species of 4 (the hydrolysis products) were calculated by density functional mPW1PW met...
