Fiber-Optic Sensors for Biomedical Applications

Peterson, John I., Vurek, Gerald G.·1984·Science

Abstract

In this article the development of fiber-optic sensors for biomedical applications is reviewed. Light-carrying fibers are potentially useful in oximetry, dye dilution measurements, laser-Doppler velocimetry, and fluorometry; as physical sensors of temperature, pressure, and radiation; and as chemical sensors of p H, partial pressure of blood gases, and glucose. Emphasis is placed on the principles and ideas used in the various devices rather than on detailed descriptions or critical discussions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
