| Summary: | Preclinical research of biomedical optoelectronic devices is often performed with the use of blood phantoms — a simplified physical model of blood. The aim of this study is the comparison and distinction between blood phantoms as well as whole human blood measurements. We show how the use of such phantoms may influence the incorrect interpretation of measured signal. On the other hand, we highlight how the use of blood phantoms enables to investigate the phenomena that otherwise are almost impossible to be noticed. |
