Harnessing Raman spectroscopy and multimodal imaging of cartilage for osteoarthritis diagnosis by Anna Crisford, Hiroki Cook, Konstantinos Bourdakos, Seshasailam Venkateswaran, Douglas Dunlop, Richard O. C. Oreffo, Sumeet Mahajan

“…Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease of cartilage characterised by joint pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life with affected joint movement leading to pain and limited mobility. Current methods to diagnose OA are predominantly limited to X-ray, MRI and invasive joint fluid analysis, all of which lack chemical or molecular specificity and are limited to detection of the disease at later stages. …”
