Project description
The coupling of low frequency Raman spectroscopy with spatially offset Raman spectroscopy is an emerging technique of interest for non-destructive and non-invasive assessment of buried biominerals such as breast microcalcifications and bone. In order to develop this technology we need to first characterise this setup with model tissue matrices. This project will involve the development and characterization of tissue phantoms to approximately mimic breast tissue. These tissue phantoms will then be measured with a buried model calcification (hydroxyapatite) to establish the maximum depths that such a setup can detect calcifications.
Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
