composition and structure of cells with submicrometer spatial resolution and could be useful
to monitor changes in composition for early stage and non-invasive cancer diagnosis, both
ex-vivo and in vivo. In particular, the fingerprint spectral region (400–1800 cm− 1) has been
shown to be very promising for optical biopsy purposes. However, limitations for
discrimination of dysplastic and inflammatory processes based on the fingerprint region …
