Abstract

In contrast to conventional oximeters, near-infrared spectroscopy-based brain tissue oximetry monitoring devices are capable of non-invasive, continuous, and real-time quantitative monitoring of cerebral oximetry parameters. Initially, these devices were utilized for intensive care or surgical monitoring of oxygen saturation. Due to the rapid advancement of optoelectronic sensing and measurement technologies over the past decade, the derived functional near-infrared brain imaging devices have been widely used in a variety of fields. This paper first introduces the basic principles of near-infrared spectroscopy-based cerebral oxygenation parameter detection, then focuses on the most recent developments in this field of study. Finally, a prospect on their future application in practical settings is also provided.
