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 …

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 …

Joint cartilage thickness has been estimated using spatially resolved steady-state
reflectance spectroscopy noninvasively and in-real time. The system consists of a miniature …

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

Objectives: In this study, we examine the capacity of a new parameter, based on the
recovery response of articular cartilage, to distinguish between healthy and damaged …

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

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether human articular cartilage can
be quantitatively evaluated using a spectrocolorimeter. MATERIALS AND METHODS …

properties, histological score and biochemical composition - IOPscience Skip to content IOP …

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 …

Optical properties of biological tissues, such as refractive index, are fundamental properties,
intrinsically linked to a tissue's composition and structure. This study aims to investigate the …
