Do GSM 900MHz signals affect cerebral blood circulation? A near-infrared spectrophotometry study

Portable Refrigerant Identification by Near Infrared Spectrophotometry

High-dose antidepressants affect near-infrared spectroscopy signals: A retrospective study

BACKGROUND Recent studies have highlighted the clinical usefulness of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in psychiatry. However, the potential effects of psychotropics on NIRS signals remain unknown. METHODS We conducted a systematic chart review of 40 depressed patients who underwent NIRS scans during a verbal fluency task to clarify the relationships between psychotropic dosage and NIRS sign...

Determining Blood Glucose Concentration using Near Infrared Spectroscopy: Early Findings

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is one of the diseases that have grown dramatically in today's societies. People with diabetes should continuously measure their blood glucose level. Continuous blood glucose measurement by commonly used methods is painful and difficult. On the other hand, mobile phone can be a useful tool for accessing physicians and telemedicine services more easily. The aim of...

Design of a Near Infrared Spectrophotometry Brain Imaging System

Measuring brain activity is at task generally left for EEG or fMRI. However, there is a lesser known imaging technique known as near infrared spectrophotometry, in which near infrared light is shown into the patients head to measure changes in oxygenation that directly relate to brain activity. This paper describes a low-cost, wireless, portable near infrared spectrophotometry system that is ab...
