TL;DR: Fourier Transform Infrared Microspectroscopy (FTIRM) has been used to study the changes in mineral and matrix content and composition in replicate biopsies of non-osteoporotic human osteonal bone, suggesting their applicability for the analysis of mineral changes in disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the solution-mediated conversion of amorphous calcium phosphate to hydroxyapatite: New correlations between X-ray diffraction and infrared data
TL;DR: It is suggested that a combination of second-derivative and curve-fitting analysis of the ν1, ν3 phosphate contour allows the most reproducible evaluation of these spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI
FTIR Microspectroscopic Analysis of Normal Human Cortical and Trabecular Bone
TL;DR: The results presented here along with previously reported changes in osteonal bone show a relation between bone age and ``crystallinity/maturity'' (a parameter dependent on crystallite size, hydroxyapatite-like stoichiometry, abundance of substituting ions such as CO32−) as deduced by the 1020/1030 cm−1 ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
FTIR microspectroscopic analysis of human iliac crest biopsies from untreated osteoporotic bone.
TL;DR: Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIRM) was applied to the study of human osteonal and cortical bone from iliac crest biopsies of untreated osteoporotic patients, indicating significant differences in the mineral properties as expressed by crystal size and perfection.
