Sara Mosca presents poster on non-invasive depth measurement at annual scientific meeting.

Dr. Sara Mosca attended the 225th meeting of the Infrared and Raman Discussion Group (IRDG) at UCL in London today, with her recent SciX2019 talk reimagined in poster form.

Sara outlined RaNT’s progress on using spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) and transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS), to non-invasively predict the depth of a single object buried inside biological tissue.

Depth information is encoded in relative changes observed in Raman band intensities; a direct result of the different distances that individual Raman scattered photons travel on their varied paths back to the surface of the tissue.

This research brings RaNT closer to a working technology able to pinpoint the exact location of a tumour in the body.
