“…From a clinical perspective, Terahertz and Raman spectroscopy are non-ionizing radiation detection techniques that do not pose any health risks to the human body, making them suitable for long-term disease tracking. In contrast, other imaging methods such as X-ray and CT scanning generate radiation and may cause potential health Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology frontiersin.org hazards (Esmonde-White et al, 2017;Demir and Severcan, 2016;Ajito, 2015;Kawase et al, 2003). Moreover, each component in gout stones has a distinct Raman or Terahertz spectrum, which can be used for spectral analysis.…”

Gout is a metabolic disease that can result in the formation of gout stones. It is essential to promptly identify and confirm the type of gout stone to alleviate pain and inflammation in patients and prevent complications associated with gout stones. Traditional detection methods, such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT scanning, and blood uric acid measurement, have limitations in early diagnosis. Therefore, this article aims to explore the use of micro Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy systems to detect gout stone samples. Through comparative analysis, Terahertz technology and Raman spectroscopy have been found to provide chemical composition and molecular structure information of different wavebands of samples. By combining these two technologies, faster and more comprehensive analysis and characterization of samples can be achieved. In the future, handheld portable integrated testing instruments will be developed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of testing. Furthermore, this article proposes establishing a spectral database of gout stones and urinary stones by combining Raman spectroscopy and Terahertz spectroscopy. This database would provide accurate and comprehensive technical support for the rapid diagnosis of gout in clinical practice.
