Continuous real-time monitoring of the adequacy of cerebral perfusion can provide
important therapeutic information in a variety of clinical settings. The current clinical …

Background Various techniques have been employed for the early detection of perioperative
cerebral ischaemia and hypoxia. Cerebral near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly …

This article reviews the basic principles of frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-
NIRS), which relies on intensity-modulated light sources and phase-sensitive optical …

Background: Survivors of stroke often experience significant disability and impaired quality
of life. The recovery of motor or cognitive function requires long periods. Neuroimaging …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to monitor regional cerebral oxygenation (rScO
2) during cardiac surgery but is less established during non-cardiac surgery. This systematic …

Background The objective of this prospective study is to determine cognitive dysfunction
after thoracic surgery. Methods Seventy-six patients undergoing thoracic surgery with single …

Near-infrared spectroscopy measures of haemoglobin oxygen saturation are often used as
an indicator of sufficient oxygen delivery to assess injury susceptibility and tissue damage …

We describe a technique that uses spatially modulated near-infrared (NIR) illumination to
detect and map changes in both optical properties (absorption and reduced scattering …

Background Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) often develop cerebral disease
complications. Furthermore, cerebral regional saturation of oxygen (rSO2) was previously …

Objective: To review past, present and future applications of near-infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS) in clinical neuroscience. Methods: The literature and personal experience of the …
