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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Optical monitoring of cerebral blood flow is a potentially life-saving technology in clinical emergencies, and a number of spectroscopic techniques have been applied to the task. Near-IR spectroscopy ...

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" ...

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 ...

As measuring translucent materials has endless applications, focus is given to the generic principle of transmission measurement. Measurements of foils, thin film, glass and even liquids in cuvettes ...

At Pittcon 2018 in Orlando, Florida, February 26-March 1, 2018, speakers and exhibitors specialized in the use of spectroscopy in biomedical research and clinical application will gather to provide ...
