A Monte Carlo platform for the optical modeling of pulse oximetry
journal contribution
posted on 2016-08-05, 13:23 authored by Vicente Azorin-Peris, Sijung HuSijung Hu, Peter R. SmithWe investigated a custom Monte Carlo (MC) platform in the generation of opto-physiological models of motion artefact
and perfusion in pulse oximetry. With the growing availability and accuracy of tissue optical properties in literatures,
MC simulation of light-tissue interaction is providing increasingly valuable information for optical bio-monitoring
research. Motion-induced artefact and loss of signal quality during low perfusion are currently the primary limitations in
pulse oximetry. While most attempts to circumvent these issues have focused on signal post-processing techniques, we
propose the development of improved opto-physiological models to include the characterisation of motion artefact and
low perfusion. In this stage of the research, a custom MC platform is being developed for its use in determining the
effects of perfusion, haemodynamics and tissue-probe optical coupling on transillumination at different positions of the
human finger. The results of MC simulations indicate a useful and predictable output from the platform.
