Feasibility study of non-invasive oxygenation measurement in a deep blood vessel using acousto-optics and microbubbles.
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in tissue is known to be insensitive to oxygenation changes inside blood vessels. Measurements are dominated by changes in the surrounding tissue, which has significantly lower optical absorption. A hybrid technique of NIRS with focused ultrasound (US) allows spectr...
