Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease, and there is currently no effective medicine to
cure it. Early prevention and treatment can effectively reduce the pain of OA patients and …

This review presents the changes that the imaging of articular cartilage has undergone
throughout the last decades. It highlights that the expectation is no longer to image the …

The depolarization property of skin has been found to be important for skin cancer detection.
Previous techniques based on light polarization lack the capability of depth differentiation …

Jones-matrix optical coherence tomography (JM-OCT) is an extension of polarization-
sensitive OCT, which provides multiple types of optical contrasts of biological and clinical …

Significance Raman spectroscopy is a well-established analytical method in the fields of
chemistry, industry, biology, pharmaceutics, and medicine. Previous studies have …

Hip osteoarthritis (OA) can be idiopathic or develop secondary to structural joint
abnormalities of the hip joint (alteration of normal anatomy) and/or due to a systemic …

Current imaging tools are insufficiently sensitive to the early diagnosis of esophageal
squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The application of polarization-sensitive optical …

Osteonecrosis becomes a more widespread problem as the population is getting older.
Current osteonecrosis diagnosis not only requires invasive procedures but also often leads …

Objective To explore the ability of polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-
OCT) to rapidly identify subtle signs of tissue degeneration in the equine joint. Method …

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 …
