New bone diagnostic tool development

    Impact

    Description of this impact(s) record

    Development of spatially offset Raman spectroscopy, a non-invasive laser based technology, as a potential diagnostic tool for bone disorders and exploring the mechanism of bone mineralisation. This has impact in healthcare, particularly for osteoporosis and osteoarthritis for diagnosis and treatment monitoring; this has a wider impact on healthcare in an ageing population and economic impact by reducing this burden of disease. More widely, the research could impact on material science, engineering and manufacturing.
