Abstract
We have recently presented the first Raman spectra of in vivo human blood. A brief review of how to obtain such spectra and normalize them to the appropriate blood volume is given showing how to produce spectra that can be used for noninvasive quantitative analysis of blood in vivo. New clinical data from individuals and groups completely reproduce and extend all the earlier results. These new data reveal how certain small differences between individuals result in some variability in their noninvasive quantitation. We show the origin of this variability and how to obtain quantitative corrections based entirely on the individual measurement and tabulated data.
