Raman spectroscopy applications in rheumatology

Abstract

Raman spectroscopy is a type of vibrational spectroscopy based on the inelastic scattering of photons, which has attracted much attention due to its potential clinical application in rheumatology. In this review, we discuss the typical spectral features of cartilage, bone, synovial fluid, and pathologic crystal deposits, as well as methods of amplifying the Raman signal of biofluids such as drop-coating deposition Raman spectroscopy. Further, applications of Raman and drop-coating deposition Raman spectroscopy in osteoarthritis are described, highlighting the clinical potential of these methods. We also discuss the role of Raman and related techniques in analyzing pathologic crystals such as monosodium urate, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate, and hydroxyapatite. The results presented in this review demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy has grown past the stage of proof-of-concept, especially in the case of pathologies involving crystal depositions such as gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease , for which the method has been validated on large number of samples. As the medical community becomes more and more aware of Raman spectroscopy, it is envisioned that it will become a standard technique in the near future.
