Descriptor tomografía óptica
Scope note: Proyección de luz próxima a la región del infrarrojo (RAYOS INFRARROJOS), en la región de 700-1.000 nm, a través de un objeto en haces paralelos hacia una matriz de fotodetectores sensibles. Esto se repite en varios ángulos, y la reconstrucción matemática proporciona una IMAGEN MÉDICA tridimensional de los tejidos. A tenor de la transparencia relativa de los tejidos a este espectro, se ha utilizado para monitorizar la oxigenación local, el cerebro y las articulaciones.

Scope note: Projection of near-IR light (INFRARED RAYS), in the 700-1000 nm region, across an object in parallel beams to an array of sensitive photodetectors. This is repeated at various angles and a mathematical reconstruction provides three dimensional MEDICAL IMAGING of tissues. Based on the relative transparency of tissues to this spectra, it has been used to monitor local oxygenation, brain and joints.
