Advances in vibrational spectroscopy have propelled new insights into the molecular
composition and structure of biological tissues. In this review, we discuss common …

Hyaline cartilage is deficient in self-healing properties. The early treatment of focal cartilage
lesions is a public health challenge to prevent long-term degradation and the occurrence of …

Dynamic, in vivo measurement of the optical properties of biological tissues is still an elusive
and critically important problem. Here we develop a technique for inverting a Monte Carlo …

Osteoarthritis degenerates cartilage and impairs joint function. Early intervention
opportunities are missed as current diagnostic methods are insensitive to early tissue …

Collagen is a major structural component of nearly every tissue in the human body, whose
hierarchical organization imparts specific mechanical properties and defines overall tissue …

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 …

Studies of the optical properties of biological tissues in the infrared range have
demonstrated significant potential for diagnostic tasks. One of the insufficiently explored …

In this study, a general and systematical investigation of sub‐diffuse reflectance
spectroscopy is implemented. A Gegenbauer‐kernel phase function‐based Monte Carlo is …

Optical properties of biological tissues in the NIR spectral range have demonstrated
significant potential for in vivo diagnostic applications and are critical parameters for …

Objective To differentiate healthy from artificially degraded articular cartilage and estimate its
structural, compositional, and functional properties using Raman spectroscopy (RS). Design …
