The field of anatomic pathology has changed significantly over the last decades and, as a
result of the technological developments in molecular pathology and genetics, has had …

Connective tissues such as articular cartilage have been the subject of study using novel
optical techniques almost since the invention of polarized light microscopy (PLM). Early …

In this study, we report adaptation of Raman spectroscopy for arthroscopy of joint tissues
using a custom-built fiber-optic probe. Differentiation of healthy and damaged tissue or …

Optical absorption spectra of human articular cartilage correlate with biomechanical
properties, histological score and biochemical composition - IOPscience Skip to content IOP …

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 …

This study investigates the correlation between the composition of human meniscus and its
absorption spectrum in the visible (VIS) and near infrared (NIR) spectral range. Meniscus …

Objective Many in vivo procedures to repair chondral defects use ultraviolet (UV)-
photoinitiated in situ polymerization within the cartilage matrix. Chemical species that absorb …

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

Articular surface damage occurs to cartilage during normal aging, osteoarthritis, and in
trauma. A noninvasive assessment of cartilage microstructural alterations is useful for …

Purpose To assess the potential of ultraviolet-visible near-infrared spectroscopy to provide
quantitative information on the cartilage surface at early osteoarthritis. Methods We used a …
