مقاله انگلیسی رایگان در مورد LIBS-Raman: تجزیه و تحلیل کالکولی های کلیه – وایلی ۲۰۱۷

Abstract

Presence of renal calculi (kidney stones) in human urethra is being increasingly diagnosed over the last decade and is considered as one of the most painful urological disorders. Accurate analysis of such stones plays a vital role in the evaluation of urolithiasis patients and in turn helps the clinicians toward exact etiologies. Two highly complementary laser-based analytical techniques; Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and micro-Raman spectroscopy have been used to identify the chemical composition of different types of renal calculi. LIBS explores elemental characteristics while Raman spectroscopy provides molecular details of the sample. This complete information on the sample composition might help clinicians to identify the key aspects of the formation of kidney stones, hence assist in therapeutic management and to prevent recurrence. The complementarity of both techniques has been emphasized and discussed.
