Excerpt

Heterotopic Ossification (HO), or the abnormal formation of bone in soft tissue, occurs in over 60% of major burn injuries. Current diagnostic modalities for HO are inadequate to diagnose HO early enough to allow for intervention. In this study, we validate transcutaneous, in-vivo Raman spectroscopy for earlier transcutaneous diagnosis and characterization of HO than current gold standard MicroCT imaging in a mouse achilles tenotomy model which is enhanced by burn injury.
