Transcranial oximetry using fast near infrared spectroscopy can detect failure of collateral blood supply in humans

We tested the hypothesis that transcranial oximetry by fast scanning near infrared spectroscopy can detect local desaturation of hemoglobin in arterial vessels of cerebral circulation with impaired blood supply. A total of 74 near infrared …

Simultaneous near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring of left and right occipital areas reveals contra-lateral hemodynamic changes upon hemi-field paradigm

In this study we have shown that in humans it is possible to monitor non-invasively and simultaneously both hemispheres revealing cortical oxygenation changes in the occipital area in response to a contra-lateral hemi-field paradigm. A novel …
