Characterising Biological Tissues

Abstract

The invention describes a method for characterising and/or analysing body tissue, the method comprising: obtaining a first measured data set comprising data representing a first measured tissue property of a body tissue sample; obtaining a second measured data set comprising data representing a second measured tissue property of the body tissue sample; preprocessing at least the data representing the first measured tissue property to generate a first pre-processed data set; and using the first pre-processed data set along with the data representing the second measured tissue property (or data derived from it) in a multivariate model to provide an analysis and/or characterisation of the tissue sample. Additionally, the invention also describes a method for creating a model for characterising a tissue sample based on an analysis of a penetrating radiation (e.g. x-ray) diffraction profile measured from the tissue sample, as well as a method for characterising a tissue sample.
