This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18901562 titled 'FIBER COUPLED NETWORK OF SENSORS FOR NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY BASED TISSUE OXYGENATION
Original Abstract Submitted
An improved near-infrared spectroscopy based handheld tissue oxygenation scanner and method in which the handheld tissue oxygenation scanner is a small device-like an optical mouse-employing a single transmitter-receiver pair, an optical switch, and a plurality of optical fibers that transmit light into tissue under examination and receive light after interacting with that tissue. The integration of a plurality of optical fibers wherein each individual one provides emission/reception of infrared radiation advantageously provides a higher density of tissue interrogation by the infrared radiation thereby providing faster operation and more information in a given time period. Additional features and advantages of our inventive system and method include computer control and the ability to connect to a variety of computing devices via BlueTooth and other communications techniques.
