Pressure ulcers are a significant problem in health care, due to high costs and large impact
on patients' life. In general, pressure ulcers develop as tissue viability decreases due to …

I use Monte Carlo simulations and phantom measurements to characterize a probe with
adjacent optical fibres for diffuse reflectance spectroscopy during stereotactic surgery in the …

Significance: Hemoglobin oxygen saturation and red blood cell (RBC) tissue fraction are
important parameters when assessing microvascular status. Functional information can be …

Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) can be used for assessing the microcirculatory perfusion.
However, conventional LDF (cLDF) gives only a relative perfusion estimate for an unknown …

Background Kinesiology taping (KT) is used in musculoskeletal practice for preventive and
rehabilitative purposes. It is claimed that KT improves blood flow in the microcirculation by …

Commercial laser Doppler perfusion monitors are calibrated using the perfusion value, ie
the first order moment of the Doppler power spectrum, from a measurement in a …

Puncturing blood vessels during percutaneous intervention in minimally invasive brain
surgery can be a life threatening complication. Embedding a forward looking sensor in a …

The microcirculation, the blood flow in the smallest blood vessels in the body, has a vital
function as this is where oxygen and nutrients diffuses from the blood to to the surrounding …

Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is based on the Doppler frequency shift that occurs when
coherent light is scattered by a moving object. The magnitude of the frequency shift is …

Skin blood haemoglobin saturation (𝑠 b) can be estimated with hyperspectral imaging using
the wavelength (λ) range of 450-700 nm where haemoglobin absorption displays distinct …
