Induced fluorescence spectroscopy blood perfusion and pH monitor and method

摘要: A medical monitor, and related method, determines a pre-existing physiological property of an organ patient by monitoring fluorescent light produced constituents associated with the metabolic structural condition organ. The monitor illuminates ultraviolet excitation that induces some to fluoresce, being monitored processed determine properties sensor monitors return light, which includes organ, generates first second electrical signals indicative intensity at two wavelength. One wavelength is fluorescence collagen, constituent organ's properties, other NADH, metabolism. processor then processes localized pH fiber-optic waveguide used guide from laser source sensor. In another aspect invention, third signal elastin, properties. first, perfusion or oxygenation
