Raman spectroscopic markers of cartilage and bone composition were used to calculate composition of cartilage and subchondral bone in cadaveric tissue. The cartilage to bone ratio was also used in spectra from tissue-simulating phantoms.
| Tissue Properties | Spectroscopic Marker |
|---|---|
| Cartilage to Bone | 1063 cm−1/958 cm−1 |
| Bone Mineralization | 958 cm−1: 920 cm−1 |
