Remote, in-vivo monitoring of blood oxygen saturation of patients using optical fibres

Research output: Contribution to conference (Published)Paperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper describes an optical fibre pulse oximeter designed to measure in-vivo blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) and arterial pulse rate in a MR scanner. It operates through a 30-metre optical fibre link so that the light source, detectors, and signal processing instrumentation can be located outside the radio frequency shielded enclosure. Accuracies compare favourably with commercially available pulse oximeters.
