Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was first used as a tool for the in vivo monitoring of tissue
oxygenation in the late seventies. Today, NIRS instruments are more and more used in …

This paper derives an analytical model for investigating the effect of the distribution of
absorbers upon light attenuation in a scattering medium. Results from this are found to …

We study the correlation between (mu) s' and THC obtained in vitro, in a highly scattering
medium containing human blood. We used a frequency domain near infrared spectrometer …

Experimental research has shown correlation between near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
and blood loss, but these findings have not been validated in man. Ten blood donors were …

Methods for measuring cerebral blood volume (CBV) have traditionally used radioisotopes.
More recently, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to measure CBV by using …

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 …

Noninvasive diffuse IR transmission spectroscopy is used to measure the attenuation of
hemoglobin in the human cerebrovasculature. Experimental data demonstrating the …

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can detect changes in the concentrations of oxy-
hemoglobin ([HbO]) and deoxy-hemoglobin ([Hb]) in tissue based upon differential …

For resolving absolute concentration of tissue chromophores in the human adult brain with
near-infrared spectroscopy it is necessary to calculate the light scattering and absorption, at …

In near-infrared spectroscopy, concentration changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated
hemoglobin are calculated from the changes in the attenuation of the measurement light …
