May advance chemical imaging of plaques in research models; leaves open clinical translation pending human validation.
Micro-FT-IR spectroscopy is a viable technique for creating three-dimensional images of the chemical composition of atherosclerotic arterial walls, which may help in understanding atherosclerosis development.
Kodali et al. (1991) studied Atherosclerosis. Micro-FT-IR spectroscopy vs. Hot stage polarizing microscopy was evaluated on Subcellular chemical composition of atherosclerotic arterial walls. Micro-FT-IR spectroscopy successfully identified subcellular chemical composition changes in atherosclerotic arterial walls, showing excellent correlation with hot stage polarizing microscopy.
