Fig. 5From: Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy accurately quantifies various degrees of liver steatosis in murine models of fatty liver diseaseExamples of spectra measured with the DRS in different types of hepatic fat infiltration and various degrees of steatosis. Panel a the dashed lines correspond to the wavelength section (around 1200 nm) for which the spectra are altered by the presence of lipid. Panel b examples of spectra of normal hepatic mouse tissue and fatty mice livers with an increasing severity of macrovesicular steatosis. A more prominent inverse peak in the light spectrum in the vicinity of 1200 nm is related to a higher fat concentration in the measured tissue. A.u. indicates arbitrary unitsBack to article page
