Methods of determining the degree of oxygenation of the contrast of the interference pattern in biological tissues

Abstract

On the basis of characteristics of the interference pattern formed by the repeatedly scattered light has been developed and described a method of determining the degree of blood oxygenation knowing the contrast of the interference pattern in biological tissues. The estimation of measurement uncertainty of developed technique and the ways to increase accuracy are shown. It demonstrates the possibility of solving the inverse problem of oxygenation using the contrast of the interference pattern.
