Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is able to detect bone signal transcutaneously and could assist in predicting bone fracture risk. Criteria for optimal source-detector offsets for transcutaneous human measurements, however, are not well-established. Although larger offsets yield a higher percentage of bone signal, the absolute amount of bone signal decreases. Spectral unmixing into bone, adipose, and non-adipose components was employed to quantify changes in bone signal to noise ratio across a range of offsets, and optimal offsets for phalanx and metacarpal measurements were determined. The bone signal to noise ratio was maximized at offsets ranging from 4-6 mm.
空间偏移拉曼光谱(SORS)能够经皮检测骨骼信号,并有助于预测骨折风险。然而,用于经皮人体测量的最佳源探测器偏移标准尚未完全确立。尽管较大的偏移会产生更高比例的骨骼信号,但骨骼信号的绝对量会减少。采用光谱解混为骨骼、脂肪和非脂肪成分的方法,以量化一系列偏移范围内骨骼信噪比的变化,并确定了指骨和掌骨测量的最佳偏移。在4-6毫米的偏移范围内,骨骼信噪比达到最大值。
