Electro-Optical Sensor For Peripheral Nerves
US Patent:
2009006, Mar 5, 2009
Filed:
Mar 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/293146
Inventors:
Peter R. Bergethon - Dover MA, US
Sergio Fantini - Winchester MA, US
Sergio Fantini - Winchester MA, US
Assignee:
TRUSTEES OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY - Boston MA
TRUSTEES OF TUFTS COLLEGE - Medford MA
TRUSTEES OF TUFTS COLLEGE - Medford MA
International Classification:
A61B 5/00, A61N 1/36
US Classification:
600554
Abstract:
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is employed to examine the neuronal activity and vascular response of a peripheral nerve for research or clinical purposes. An embodiment for implementing this approach has: a nerve stimulator; a tissue spectrometer; a stimulation probe adapted to apply a stimulation from the nerve stimulator to a peripheral nerve; at least one illumination optical fiber, where each illumination optical fiber is adapted to transmit a near-infrared source light to the peripheral nerve after the stimulation is applied; and a detection optical fiber adapted to collect and deliver to the tissue spectrometer a returning light from the peripheral nerve after each source light is transmitted to the peripheral nerve. The returning light has a returning intensity, and the tissue spectrometer can determine the returning intensity to provide readings of optical diffuse reflectance of the peripheral nerve after the stimulation is applied.
Detecting Ischemia
US Patent:
2004026, Dec 30, 2004
Filed:
Apr 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/826870
Inventors:
Peter Bergethon - Dover MA, US
International Classification:
A61B005/00
US Classification:
600/554000, 600/558000, 600/559000
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method of detecting ischemia within the brain of a patient. The method includes assigning a first value to a first signal generated by a tissue on the right-hand side of the body and assigning a second value to a second signal generated by a tissue on the left-hand side of the body. The method also includes comparing the first value and the second value. The difference between the first value and the second value indicates that ischemia is present within the patient's brain.
