Published in Telemedicine Week, March 30th, 2010

Researchers detail in 'Mapping of optical pathlength of human adult head at multi-wavelengths in near infrared spectroscopy,' new data in life sciences. According to recent research from Tokyo, Japan, "Measurement of multichannel continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy (CW-NIRS) is dependent on the modified Beer-Lambert law, which includes optical pathlength (PL) as an essential parameter. PLs are known to differ across different head regions and different individuals, but the distribution of PLs for the whole head has not been evaluated so far."

"Thus, using time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy (TR-NIRS), we measured the optical characteristics including PL,...
