  6. 5. Photon time-of-flight and continuous-wave near-infrared-spectroscopy of human skeletal muscle tissue; a comparative study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik

    Author : Alfi Shaharin; [2013]
    Keywords : Photon time-of-flight spectrometer; pTOFS; Tissue Saturation; StO2; and CW-NIRS; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is to perform a comparative study between two noninvasive optical techniques: Photon Time-of-flight Spectroscopy (pTOFS) and a Continuous-wave NIRS system for measuring muscle tissue oxygen saturation. INVOS 5100C (Manufactured in 2011, Serial Number 11-10269, Produced by Somanetics Troy, MI 48084 USA) is such a CW-NIRS system that provides tissue oxygenation using continuous wave Near Infrared Spectroscopy technique and widely used in the hospitals.
