Raman Spectroscopic Analysis to Detect Reduced Bone Quality after Sciatic Neurectomy in Mice

Raman Spectroscopic Analysis to Detect Reduced Bone Quality after Sciatic Neurectomy in Mice

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a commonly used diagnostic indicator for bone fracture risk in osteoporosis. Along with low BMD, bone fragility accounts for reduced bone quality in addition to low BMD, but there is no diagnostic method to directly assess the bone quality. In this study, we investigate...
