Both techniques were correlated by matching the scattering profile from the SAXS data with the integrated area of the infrared collagen region (1300-1180 cm(-1))," investigators in Clayton, Australia report. "The FTIR spectral profiles and multivariate analysis of various tissue components showed consistent differences between all major tissue components, particularly between cancer and normal tissue cells....
