Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a functional imaging technique allowing measurement
of local cerebral oxygenation. This modality is particularly adapted to critically ill neonates …

Near-infrared spectroscopy is a new technique for noninvasive monitoring of tissue
oxygenation and haemodynamics. Quantitative measurements can be made of …

A new method of assessing neurological function and pathology in the newborn infant is
being developed based on the transmission of near-infrared light across the brain …

Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and near infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS) have been used to study the brains of normal newborn infants and infants with …

The first clinical application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) 11 years ago was on the
head of newborn infants under intensive care. Since then much credible and some important …

Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to detect changes in cerebral blood and
tissue oxygenation. Redox state of enzyme cytochrome aa3 (Cyt aa3) is thought to give an …

We propose the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor neonatal brain
temperature non-invasively and continuously during hypothermic treatment by measuring …

The Journal of Biomedical Optics (JBO) was founded in 1996. In the fourth issue of 1996 and
in the subsequent first issue of 1997, JBO published a Special Section on Near Infrared …

The use of optical spectroscopy for the non-invasive monitoring of tissue oxygenation and
metabolism is well established (Chance et al., 1975). Historically because of the high …

The technique of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is based on the principle of light
attenuation by the chromophores oxyhaemoglobin (HbO 2), deoxyhaemoglobin (Hb) and …
