Objective A prototype infrared attenuated total reflection (IR-ATR) laser spectroscopic
system designed for in vivo classification of human cartilage tissue according to its …

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance
(FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy to detect cartilage degradation due to osteoarthritis and to validate …

Articular cartilage is a hyaline cartilage that lines the subchondral bone in the diarthrodial
joints. Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is emerging as a nondestructive modality for the …

Objective To investigate the feasibility of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (NIRS) for
evaluation of human articular cartilage biomechanical properties during arthroscopy. Design …

This review describes recent developments and applications of near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy for characterization of articular cartilage integrity. It summarizes the research …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease, presented as wearing
down of articular cartilage and resulting in pain and limited mobility for 1 in 10 adults in the …

Objective Spectroscopic techniques, such as near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, are gaining
significant research interest for characterizing connective tissues, particularly articular …

There is a need for an accurate real-time quantitative system that would enhance decision-
making in the treatment of osteoarthritis. To achieve this objective, significant research is …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease, presented as wearing
down of articular cartilage and resulting in pain and limited mobility for 1 in 10 adults in the …

Arthroscopic assessment of articular tissues is highly subjective and poorly reproducible. To
ensure optimal patient care, quantitative techniques (eg., near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)) …
