Abstract
A system and method of correlating Raman measurements with digital images of a treated sample to classify the disease state of the sample. A spectroscopic data set is obtained for the sample positioned in the field of view of a spectroscopic device. Information about the field of view is stored. The sample is removed from the field of view and treated. The treated sample is repositioned in the field of view using the stored information. A digital image of the treated sample is obtained and the spectroscopic data set is linked with the digital image. A database is provided having a plurality of spectroscopic data sets. Each data set is linked to a corresponding digital image, and associated with the known sample. Each corresponding digital image is associated with the known treated samples. The database is searched to identify and match a data set of a known sample and the sample.
