Emerging concepts in deep Raman spectroscopy of biological tissue

Pavel Matousek and Nicholas Stone


This article reviews emerging Raman techniques for deep, non-invasive characterisation of biological tissues. As generic analytical tools, the new methods pave the way for a host of new applications including non-invasive bone disease diagnosis, chemical characterisation of stone-like materials in urology and cancer detection in a number of organs.
