Excerpt
Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) represents an exciting prospect for the non-invasive monitoring of cerebral tissue oxygenation in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Earlier attempts at clinical application of cerebral NIRS demonstrated that further work was needed [
1]. The basic layout of the probe portion of these devices consists of a light source and a light detector, arranged at calculated distances and configurations in order to observe target tissue. We aim to determine which commercially available NIRS probe represents the most sensitive layout of sources/detectors for the greatest sensitivity in observing tissue oxygenation at the optimal depth for TBI. …
