A method for measuring venous oxygen saturation levels has steps of measuring optical absorption oscillation data at the respiratory frequency at a plurality of wavelengths (2). A reduced scattering coefficient and an absorption coefficient are determined for the tissue, with the result that an effective path length can be determined (6). Data processing is performed to calculate amplitudes for the absorption oscillation data that are translated into oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentrations for the venous compartment (8). A method of the invention does not required mechanical ventilation devices or venous perturbation. Additional method steps may entail verifying that the measured absorption oscillation data results from the venous compartment.

The quantitative determination of various materials in highly scattering media such as living tissue may be determined in an external, photometric manner by the use of a plurality of light sources positioned at differing distances from a sensor. The light from said sources is amplitude modulated, and, in accordance with conventional frequency domain fluorometry or phosphorimetry techniques, the gain of the sensor is modulated at a frequency different from the frequency of the light modulation. Data may be acquired from each of the light sources at differing distances at a frequency which is the difference between the two frequencies described above. From these sets of data from each individual light source, curves may be constructed, and the slopes used to quantitatively determine the amount of certain materials present, for example glucose, oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in living tissue.

Systems and methods for monitoring and/or controlling a brain state of a subject are provided. In certain embodiments, the method includes acquiring physiological data from sensors including electrophysiological sensors and optical sensors, assembling, using data from the electrophysiological sensors, a time-series signal indicative of a brain activity of the subject, and identifying, using the time-series signal, a burst suppression state described by a burst suppression period and a burst period. The method also includes computing, using data from the optical sensors, parameters associated with the burst suppression state, the parameters indicative of least one of a metabolic process and a hemodynamic process, and estimating, using the parameters, time-series signal, and burst period, a response function describing a time course of the parameters correlated with a burst during the burst suppression period. The method further includes controlling a treatment using the response function to generate a target burst suppression state.

The present invention involves a time-resolved measurement method for the real time, non-invasive, simultaneous measurement of time-varying and other hemoglobin compartment saturation. This capability achieves absolute pulse oximetry and oximetry for tissue, without calibration based on a population of healthy people. Calculations conducted by the invention use quantitative measurement of tissue absorption spectrum for tissue saturation, and an amplitude of absorption oscillations for the time-varying hemoglobin compartments at various wavelengths. The invention illuminates tissue and senses light at predetermined distances apart on the tissue to be measured. Intensity and phase data are acquired from source-detector pairs to calculate absolute tissue optical properties from time-resolved measurement data, namely, a reduced scattering coefficient and an absorption coefficient. To determine time-varying hemoglobin compartment saturation, an amplitude is quantitatively calculated of absorption oscillations correlating variations of an average intensity of the source and detector pair by using the time-resolved measurement data.

A system and method for non-invasively estimating an absolute blood flow of a vascular region in a subject using optical data are provided. In some aspects, the method includes acquiring optical data from the vascular region using one or more optical sensors placed about the subject, and determining, using the optical data, an index of blood flow and a blood volume associated with the vascular region. The method also includes computing a blood inflow and a blood outflow using the index of blood flow and the blood volume, and estimating an absolute blood flow using the blood inflow and blood outflow. The method further includes generating a report indicative of the absolute blood flow of the vascular region.

Systems and methods for path length selected diffuse correlation spectroscopy (PLS-DCS) are disclosed. The systems and methods are suitable for measuring dynamics of a target medium. The systems and methods can utilize light sources having a coherence length that is shorter than a path length distribution of the target medium and can utilize a reference optical path to interferometrically detect PLS-DCS signals. The coherence length and reference path length can be selected to provide sensitivity to portions of the target medium that correspond to a desired path length distribution.
