Correlation between near‐infrared Raman spectroscopy and the histopathological analysis of atherosclerosis in human coronary arteries

Modern diagnostic methods such as near‐infrared Raman spectroscopy (NIRS) allow quantification and evaluation of human atherosclerotic lesions, which can be useful in diagnosing coronary artery disease. The objective of the present study is to obtain feasible diagnostic information to detect atheromatous plaque using NIRS combined with discriminant analysis.
