Noninvasive Optoacoustic Monitoring Platform: Clinical Studies

摘要

We developed a multiparameter, noninvasive, optoacoustic diagnostic platform that will accurately and continuously measure total hemoglobin concentration, venous oxyhemoglobin saturation (both cerebral and internal jugular), and other important physiological parameters in large populations of patients. We built optoacoustic systems for monitoring of these parameters and performed clinical tests of the systems including highly-portable laser diode-based systems. We will report results of the clinical studies performed by our group to demonstrate the capabilities of the optoacoustic platform for noninvasive monitoring of multiple physiological parameters. Our data indicate that the accuracy of the optoacoustic measurements is approaching that of "gold standard" invasive techniques.
