Spectroscopic and statistical analysis on the fingerprinting region. Spectra were acquired using SR-FTIR on normal livers as controls (n = 5), cirrhosis and their HCC (n = 3). All spectra were baseline corrected within the 1480–950 cm−1 region. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on spectra from a normal liver, cirrhosis and HCC or b only from cirrhosis and HCC. The score plot based on PC1 and PC2 is shown where each point represents one spectrum. c The average spectra corresponding to normal liver, cirrhosis and HCC tissues were extracted and superimposed
