Abstract Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) could be of clinical relevance in modern
cartilage regeneration. In a miniature pig model correlation of measurements and histologic …

Standard assessment of cartilage repair progression by visual arthroscopy can be subjective
and may result in suboptimal evaluation. Visible–near infrared (Vis-NIR) fiber optic …

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been used to assess hyaline cartilage quality in
human and animal osteochondral tissues. However, due to the lack of NIR signal from bone …

Articular cartilage degeneration causes pain and reduces the mobility of millions of people
annually. Regeneration of cartilage is challenging, due in part to its avascular nature, and …

Damaged cartilage undergoes complex changes in composition, histological structure, and
mechanical properties. Near-infrared-spectroscopy (NIR spectroscopy) is an important …

Noninvasive assessment of engineered cartilage properties would enable better control of
the developing tissue towards the desired structural and compositional endpoints through …

Objective To assess the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for in vivo
arthroscopic monitoring of cartilage defects. Method Sharp and blunt cartilage grooves were …

Purpose To develop the means to estimate cartilage histologic grades and proteoglycan
content in ex vivo arthroscopy using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Methods In this …

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

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the potential of near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy for categorizing cartilage degeneration induced in animal models. METHOD …
