Cerebral Oxygenation States as Revealed by Near-Infrared Spectrophotometry

  • Chapter
Book cover Optical Imaging of Brain Function and Metabolism 2

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 413))

Abstract

Since the pioneering work of Jobsis (1), near-infrared spectrophotometry (NIRS) has been recognized as a unique and powerful tool for non-invasive monitoring of tissue oxygenation. However, even now the quantification of hemoglobin signals and the knowledge of the redox behavior of cytochrome oxidase in vivo, as well as the measurement of cytochrome in the presence of normal blood circulation still pose unresolved issues.
