Raman spectroscopic sensing of carbonate intercalation in breast microcalcifications at stereotactic biopsy

Microcalcifications are an early mammographic sign of breast cancer and frequent target for stereotactic biopsy. Despite their indisputable value, microcalcifications, particularly of the type II variety that are comprised of calcium hydroxyapatite deposits, remain one of the least understood diseas...
