This book applies the equations and algorithms developed in the companion book (Raman Spectroscopy of Biomaterials: Theory and Quantitative Algorithms) to illustrative examples in the field of biomedical science, which include healthy and diseased hard and soft tissues in the human body, synthetic materials for biomedical devices, and a number of biological molecules in cells and bacteria. Through the above-selected applications, it is shown that Raman spectroscopy represents a key methodology to develop prompt and low-cost preventive care, to effectively diagnose diseases, to quantitatively assess the performance of biomedical devices, and to propose novel therapies. Upon exploiting the Raman basic algorithms, as rigorously established in the companion book, structural, chemical, and mechanical information is extracted from the experimentally collected spectra and its meanings/implications are discussed in detail.
