Simultaneous correction of the influence of skin color and fat on tissue spectroscopy by use of a two-distance fiber-optic probe and orthogonalization technique

Abstract: We have demonstrated simultaneous correction for the optical interference of skin and fat in tissue spectra by using a two-distance fiber-optic probe. We obtained the correction by orthogonalizing the spectra collected at a long source-detector distance (SD) to the spectra collected at a short SD and mapped to the long SD space. The method was validated in tissuelike three-layer phantoms as well as preliminarily in human tissue. After the correction, a partial-least-squares model of the phantoms showed enhance… Show more

“…Other studies employing NIRS report only tissue oxygen saturation, where the measurement is a nonspecific weighted average of oxygen saturation in the skin, fat, and muscle depending on the design of the sensor (3, 10). Our sensor is specifically designed to collect and analyze spectra from the muscle, eliminating spectral interferences from skin pigment and fat (34). In addition, the calculation methods used to determine PmO 2 and SmO 2 are independent of variations in muscle optical properties between subjects.…”

“…The second sensor collects light that illuminates the skin, fat, and muscle layer. Mathematical processing removes the light reflected from the skin and fat, leaving only the absorption spectrum of muscle (34). Removal of spectral interference from skin pigmentation and fat is critical to determining absolute chemical concentrations from muscle spectra.…”
