Intraoperative Detection of Thyroid Carcinoma by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry

Detection of cervical metastatic lymph nodes in papillary thyroid carcinoma by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

“…A previous study demonstrated that the FTIR spectrum can distinguish between PTC and benign lesions 13,14 . In this pilot study, the FTIR spectra of metastatic cervical lymph nodes were compared with those of non-metastatic nodes.…”

A study of structural differences between TBM patients' and non-TBM persons' CSF using UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy

“…Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) was carried out in order to discriminate TBM samples from control samples effectively [24]. Two functions were established from CDA, and they were listed as below: Hence, the inflammatory reaction would cause the change of proteins' content in CSF.…”

Optical Diagnosis for Thyroid and Parathyroid Tissues—A Review

“…Infrared spectroscopy methods are potentially capable of identifying signs to distinguish malignant tumors and other focal changes in tissue because it has high sensitivity and the ability to retrieve information relative to structural changes and composition of molecules. Consequently, it is possible to study thyroid pathology at the level of the molecular structure and molecular interactions using IR spectroscopy (14)(15)(16)(17).…”

“…This article focuses primarily on the use of fluorescence spectroscopy (4-6), time-resolved fluorescence (7,8), near-infrared spectroscopy (9-11), Raman spectroscopy (12,13), infrared spectroscopy (14)(15)(16)(17), elastic scattering spectroscopy (18,19), second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy (20,21), and optical coherence tomography (22)(23)(24) to evaluate thyroid and parathyroid tissues.…”
