Tissue vasculature is altered when cancer develops. Consequently, noninvasive methods of
monitoring blood vessel size, density, and oxygenation would be valuable. Simple …

A model has been developed by us for the analysis of reflection spectra which gradually
approaches the conditions in tissue. To that aim transmis—sion and reflection are recorded …

New techniques for determining the hematocrit (Hct) and oxygen saturation (SO 2) of whole
blood from backscattered light measurements are described. First, theoretical and …

The accurate, quantitative analysis of absorption and scattering properties in tissue is a
central problem in biochemical optics, in particular for the determination of hemoglobin and …

We report on the scattering properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated whole blood from
250 to 1000 nm. We determine the complex refractive index of oxygenated and …

Previously, calibration of whole blood oximeters required that an empirical relationship be
established between the manometric determinations of oxygen saturation and oximeter …

Many studies have been made [1-4] on the transmission spectra in the visible and near-IR
ranges for various tissues and biological liquids: muscle, heart, bone, blood, plasma, etc …

A method for the theoretical estimation of the volume of oxygenated erythrocytes in small
vessels in tissue, using the dynamic light scattering method for different wavelengths, has …

As a rule oximeters are classified as transmission and reflection types. In this paper a new
type of an in vivo oximeter is presented which combines both principles. As a result unique …
