Overview • NIRS • What is it? • Why use it? • NIRS Methodology • Data acquisition • Fitting • Filtering and Spectral analysis • Results • Conclusion
What is NIRS? • Objective • Measure blood oxygenation using near-infrared light • Non-invasive methodology • Real time monitoring • Applications • Muscle metabolism • Vascular disorder studies • Functional brain imaging
Applications cont’d Metabolism Brain Function http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/P/pulse_oximetry.html http://www.rtmagazine.com/issues/articles/2007-10_07.asp
Why use NIRS? • Other Methods • Blood gas analysis • Oxygen sensors • NIRS benefits • Non-invasive • Allows for real time monitoring • Easy to implement
Methodology - Data Acquisition • Near-Infrared light • Wavelengths of 600-900 nm • Deep penetration • Highly sensitive to Hb saturation • Probe Layout • Discrete vs. Broadband • Transmission vs. Reflectance • Positioning • Relative measure of volume change http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~kmg462/
Methodology - Fitting • Separate oxy from non-oxy haemoglobin data • Deep penetration – one data set for arterial, venous and capillary compartments. Franceschini, et al, 2002
Methodology – Spectral Analysis • Pulsatile nature of blood vessels • Arterial – pulsations at the heart rate • Venous – pulsations at the respiratory frequency • Fourier Domain analysis • Further separation into compartments • Power in spectrum relative to concentration of HbO2 or Hb
Results cont’d • Accuracy (Unpublished Data) • Improvements • Higher sensitivity – allow for low SvO2 measurements • Improved fitting algorithm • Artifact Correction
Conclusion • NIRS methodology • Non-invasive • Easy to implement • Real-time monitoring • Further work • Artifact correction • Probe sensitivity and bandwidth • Increased accuracy
