The sensitivity analysis indicates that the effective absorption coefficient is most sensitive to
the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in spectral bands centered at 700 and 960 nm …

Near IR time resolved spectroscopy has been studied for quantitative determination of
absorbance in highly scattering medium such as tissue. When a very narrow optical pulse is …

In an effort to develop an implantable optical perfusion and oxygenation sensor, based on
multiwavelength reflectance pulse oximetry, we investigate the effect of source–detector …

A portable tissue oximeter that uses light-emitting diodes and two-wavelength near infrared
spectroscopy has been developed. The tissue oximeter is compact enough to be portable …

The quantification of tissue optical properties for calculating blood saturation and
hemoglobin concentration using measurements of diffuse photon density waves at some …

Detection of interactions between light and tissue can be used to characterize the optical
properties of the tissue. The purpose of this paper is to develop an algorithm that determines …

The transillumination window in the tissue spectrum, which extends from about 600 to about
1200 nm, is very attractive in diagnosis and therapy because the penetration of light into …

The objective of this study was the development of a reflectance pulse oximeter sensor for
broader clinical applications, specifically for broader arterial oxygen saturation (SaO/sub 2/) …

Optical/laser modalities provide a broad variety of practical solutions for clinical diagnostics
and therapy in a range from imaging of single cells and molecules to non-invasive biopsy of …

We report on the comparison of two approaches to the reconstruction of oxygen saturation
(StO 2) within blood vessels from multispectral optoacoustic (OA) measurements. The …
