Measuring different oxygenation levels in a blood perfusion model simulating the human head using NIRS

Abstract

The oxygenation, perfusion and metabolism of the brain - segmented in both hemispheres - can be estimated from the oxygenation and hemoglobin levels of the venous blood in the cerebral efferent vessels.
