Skin Oxygenation Imaging Near-infrared (near-IR) and visible spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging can measure the balance between oxygen delivery and tissue oxygen utilization by monitoring the hemoglobin oxygen saturation in tissues. Non-imaging near-IR applications have examined the local response of tissue to manipulations of blood flow. Clinically, there are situations where the regional variations in oxygenation saturation are of interest.  Spectroscopic imaging offers a means of accessing the spatial heterogeneity of the hemoglobin oxygenation saturation response to tissue perfusion. This methodology will give spatially resolved O2sat measurements. Still under construction Created by Jim Mansfield. Last Update: August 23rd, 2002. All rights reserved.
