COMPARISON OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPONENT DISTRIBUTIONS IN OSTEOARTHRITIC AND HEALTHY CARTILAGES BY FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED IMAGING

COMPARISON OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPONENT DISTRIBUTIONS IN OSTEOARTHRITIC AND HEALTHY CARTILAGES BY FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED IMAGING

Fourier transform infrared imaging (FTIRI) was used to examine the depth-dependent content variations of macromolecular components, collagen and proteoglycan (PG), in osteoarthritic and healthy cartilages. Dried 6 μm thick sections of canine knee cartilages were imaged at 6.25 μm pixel-size in FTIRI...
