Abstract
Optical spectroscopic techniques offer non-destructive, in situ histochemical diagnoses of human tissue pathologies. Recently in our laboratory, we have demonstrated that near-infrared (1.06 μm) excited Fourier transform (FT-)Raman spectroscopy provides histochemical information from normal and atherosclerotic human aorta unparalleled by other optical methods [1]. With fiber optic excitation and collection of the optical signals, near-IR FT-Raman is readily adaptable to in situ detection and in vivo clinical applications.
