To develop an algorithm for the spectrophotometric determination of the oxygen saturation in
blood, a model for the transmission of light in a scattering and absorbing medium is …

In the paper a pulse oximetry model is developed using an approach which combines both
theoretical and empirical modelling. The optical properties of whole blood are measured as …

We investigated the role of light scattering in whole blood oximetry by transmission
spectrophotometry. To delineate the role of scattering and absorbance in the measurement …

PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED reports (TAYLOR and WHITWAM, 1986) on the overall accuracy
of pulse oximeters shove an excellent correlation between pulse oximetry and direct blood …

The diffusion equations for randomly directed photons are applied to the problem of the in
vivo determination of the oxygen relative saturation in blood. A model of the living tissue is …

The paper presents the modeling of transmittance measurement in a finite layer of whole
blood. To describe light propagation in whole blood medium, a Monte Carlo simulation was …

The oxygen saturation of blood, the cardiac output and the nature of pathological conditions
in the heart and larger vessels can be determined by photometry using whole blood. Under …

The fundamental parameters necessary for describing the optical behavior of nonhemolyzed
blood by means of diffusion equations for photons are presented. The methods and results …

In reflectance pulse oximetry the ratio R/IR between the red and infrared intensity
fluctuations, as measured at the skin surface, is used to estimate the arterial oxygen …

In this paper the phenomena in tissue optics that influence reflectance pulse oximetry are
described systematically for the purpose of making the subject accessable to those who are …
