Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning to diagnose Systemic Sclerosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The motivation of this work is the use of non-invasive and low cost techniques to obtain a faster and more accurate diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatic, autoimmune, chronic and rare disease. The technique in question is Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS). Spectra were acquired from three different regions of hand's volunteers.
