Figure 2

Raman-derived parameters of bone compositions in tumor bearing tibiae in ratio to the values from the contralateral controls. Dashed line marks the relative level of all the control spectral components, or 100%. Compositional properties shown include the level of collagen mineralization calculated by phosphate v1/amide 1 (A) and phosphate v1/proline (B), carbonate substitution in hydroxyapatite by carbonate/phosphate v1 (C), mineral crystallinity by 1/FWHM of phosphate v1 (D), and carbonate:matrix ratio by carbonate/proline (E). All spectral parameters in Figure 2.A–E demonstrate statistically significant difference with the contralateral controls (**p<0.01, *p < 0.05).
