| Three examples
of application :
1 From steatosis
to cancer, via
cirrhosis:
infrared spectroscopy reveals
the specific traits of these liver
diseases from their earliest
stages of development. 2 Renal calculi:
by ascertaining the composition
of the microcrystals that
make up the calculi, IR
spectroscopy allows the cause
of the disease to be diagnosed
and the appropriate treatment
to be chosen for the patient. 3 Cancerous cells
of the blood, the
lung or the brain:
through a follow-up with IR
spectroscopy, it is possible
to fine-tune the treatment
that annihilates these
cells, by a combination of
visible light radiation and
medication. |
