In vivo Near-infrared Raman Spectroscopy: Demonstration of Feasibility During Clinical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy¶

Abstract: Raman spectroscopy (RS) has potential for disease classification within the gastrointestinal tract (GI). A near-infrared (NIR) fiber-optic RS system has been developed previously. This study reports the first in vivo Raman spectra of human gastrointestinal tissues measured during routine clinical endoscopy. This was achieved by using this system with a fiber-optic probe that was passed through the endoscope instrument channel and placed in contact with the tissue surface. Spectra could be obtained with good si… Show more

“…In comparison, Raman spectroscopy is an inelastic scattering technique based on unique selection rules that produces weak signals and can become overwhelmed by tissue autofluorescence (31). Consequently, Raman requires expensive detectors and sophisticated spectral processing, conditions that can be difficult to translate to the clinic for screening purposes (32,33).…”

“…To date only the oesophagus has been examined in any detail with Raman spectroscopy, although only selected pathologies were compared. 17,21 This study followed extremely rigorous sampling procedures to reduce the errors caused by discrepancies in histopathology, sample misorientation and by measuring samples with mixed pathology. In addition, the full spectrum of malignant disease found in each organ was studied, in order to remove any bias likely to be found in studies comparing normal with cancerous tissue, i.e.…”

“…Thus, Raman spectroscopy is likely to be a useful technique. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The objectives of this study were to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Raman spectroscopy in differentiating between cancer and normal breast tissue in a mouse model.…”
