Description
Summary:Subtle changes in Raman spectral line-shape have been observed from malignant human brain cells and its possibility for being used in detection and grading of Glioma has been explored here. The latter has been developed as a result of the fact that the width of the Raman spectra is more sensitive, as compared to the peak position, to the brain tumors. The perturbations induced by the cell-modification, as a consequence to the cancerous growth, may be responsible for the widths variation in the Raman spectrum due to vibrational lifetime alteration enforced at the molecular levels. A consistent cancer induced effect on the spectral width has been observed for three different brain cells Raman modes at different frequencies . Raman spectral analysis reveals that for cancerous cells, the FWHM varies up to 35 % in comparison with the healthy cells. It has been established how a careful analysis of Raman spectra can help in easy detection of brain tumors. The methodology has been validated by studying the effect of similar microscopic perturbations, e.g, Fano coupling and quantum size effects, on different Raman spectral parameters which also reveals Raman width to be the most sensitive parameter.
