Diffuse optical measurement techniques employ near-infrared light to non-invasively probe cerebral haemodynamics by assessing both absorption and scattering properties of brain tissue. Methods such as ...

Unstable cerebral hemodynamics places preterm infants at high risk of brain injury. We adapted an innovative, fiber-free, wearable diffuse speckle contrast flow-oximetry (DSCFO) device for continuous ...

Circulatory shock is a leading global cause of death and disability in children. Shock is defined as a life-threatening condition where cardiovascular system failure causes inadequate delivery of ...

Monitoring the flow of blood to the brain can reveal much about how it works. An increase in blood flow usually accompanies neuronal activity, whereas a decrease in the flow can be indicative of ...

明治大学大学院 理工学研究科の黒野晃暉（博士前期課程2年）、明治大学理工学部電気電子生命学科の小野弓絵教授は、国立循環器病研究センター研究所の松下裕貴医師、朔啓太室長らと共同で、拡散相関分光法（Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy：DCS）を用いた非 ...

Cerebral blood flow is essential for normal brain function and often perturbed in neurological disease. If one shines a source of coherent light on perfused tissue, the detected speckles, or “grains” ...

Diffuse optical techniques have proven to be valuable methods for non-invasively observing blood flow in living subjects. A number of modalities have been developed, with diffuse correlation ...

An increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) is a dangerous condition that can be caused by brain bleeds, a brain tumor, cerebral edema, traumatic brain injury, and hydrocephalus. ICP monitoring is thus ...

Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

Monitoring the proper blood supply to the brain is crucial, not only to prevent neurological diseases, but also to treat them. The parallel near-infrared interferometric spectroscopy technique, or ...

A project at Spain's ICFO research center has employed diffuse optics in a platform designed to monitor thyroid health, to assist disease diagnosis and therapy. Thyroid diseases affect 200 million ...
