Measurement of Optical Path Length for Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Newborn Infants
Abstract
The time taken for an extremely short pulse of near-infrared laser light to traverse the heads of 6 preterm infants was measured after death. The values obtained were used to calculate a differential path length factor (DPF), defined as the mean distance travelled by the photons divided by the distance between the points where light entered and left the head. The DPF was found to be 4.39 +/- 0.28. Knowledge of this factor will permit accurate quantitative measurements to be made by near-infrared spectroscopy of a range of indices of cerebral oxygenation and haemodynamics in live infants.

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.
