Possible Application of Raman Microspectroscopy to Verify the Interstitial Cystitis Diagnosis after Potassium Sensitivity Test: Phenylalanine or Tryptophan as a Biomarker

There is lack of a worldwide standard technique for clinical diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC). Raman spectroscopy with higher specificity and sensitivity has been extensively used to act as a non-destructive analytical technique without special sample preparation. In this preliminary study, p...
