Research Grant, Ministero della Salute
Aim of the projects
The research project will specifically evaluate:
- To outline the specific Raman profile of healthy and neoplastic benign and malignant thyroid tissues as a possible marker for the diagnosis to be applied in the clinical framework of the thyroid nodule.
- To determine the diagnostic accuracy of Raman spectroscopy in discriminating the different thyroid lesions through specific molecular impressions (histologically and cytologically).
- To develop a portable Raman diagnostic device, using sterile fiber probes to be inserted in the nodule for the direct acquisition of the spectra (optical biopsy).
