We have previously described a technology based on diffuse reflectance of broadband light
for measuring joint articular cartilage thickness, utilizing that optical absorption is different in …

Purpose Develop a spectroscopic method to assess cartilage thickness during the
arthroscopic examination. Methods Currently, arthroscopy assesses cartilage damage …

A new principle for cartilage layer thickness assessments in joints is presented. It is based
on the differences between the absorption spectra of cartilage and subchondral bone …

The aim of this study was to detect characteristic structural changes in the cartilage
composition of osteoarthritis (OA), hereby improving the arthroscopic identification of …

The information from spectral reflectance of articular cartilage has been related to the
integrity of the tissue. This study explores more in detail the interrelations between the …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of articular cartilage thickness measurement when
implementing a new technology based on spectroscopic measurement into an arthroscopic …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder often diagnosed during
arthroscopy. In OA, visual color changes of the articular cartilage surface are typically …

Articular cartilage is critical for painless and low-friction range of motion; however, disruption
of articular cartilage, particularly in the knee joint, is common. Treatment options are based …

The determination of the characteristics of articular cartilage such as thickness, stiffness and
swelling, especially in the form that can facilitate real-time decisions and diagnostics is still a …

There is increasing research on the potential application of diffuse optical spectroscopy and
hyperspectral imaging for characterizing the health of the connective tissues, such as …
