ABSTRACT:
NIR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for measuring blood oxygenation and
haemoglobin content non-invasively. However, quantification of these values in vivo is nearly impossible without an accurate measure of the optical pathlength. This
article describes a novel method for measuring relative pathlength values in heart tissue.
