Abstract:
Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy are being widely applied as sensor-based techniques in oncology, particularly in the diagnosis of brain cancers and their subtypes. Overtime, these techniques have become more sensitive; and, accuracies of over 90% have been observed in several studies. This is indication of their potential for clinical implementation. Herein, we present a mini-review by revisiting some fundamentals of FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy along with their applications towards brain cancer detection in the literature.

The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
