CLINICAL RAMAN INSTRUMENT

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们已经研究了拉曼光谱的使用，以诊断动脉粥样硬化和乳腺癌。多年来，我们成功进行了多项体内和体外临床研究。我们能够利用拉曼光纤探针将基于显微镜的实验室系统最小化为临床拉曼系统。目前，我们正在开发一种微型拉曼临床仪器，将提供给LBRC以外的用户。该项目的目的是促进光谱学的临床转化研究;并使年轻/新的研究人员熟悉诊断光谱学的方法。LBRC将提供能够收集指纹范围（600- 1800 cm-1）内生物组织的拉曼光谱的拉曼光谱仪器。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We have investigated the usage of Raman spectroscopy to diagnose atherosclerosis and breast cancer. Over the years, we have successfully conducted several in vivo and ex vivo clinical studies. We were able to minimize our microscopy-based laboratory system into a clinical Raman system utilizing a Raman fiber optical probe. Currently, we are developing a mini-Raman clinical instrument that will be available for users outside of the LBRC. The purposes of this project are to foster clinical translational research in optical spectroscopy; and to familiarize young/new investigators with the methods of diagnostic spectroscopy. The LBRC will provide Raman spectroscopy instrument capable of collecting Raman spectra from biological tissues over the fingerprint range (600-1800cm-1).
