Details and patient eligibility

About

The researcher can use Diffuse Optical spectroscopy technique that uses harmless levels of near-infrared light to probe the concentrations and states of important physiological molecules such as hemoglobin water and lipids in human muscle,.

Full description

The researcher can monitor muscle physiology, for example during exercise or in response to external factors such as shock by Diffuse Optical spectroscopy technique.

The Diffuse Optical spectroscopy technique can determine significant changes in muscle, muscle structure, muscle tissues metabolism and hemodynamics.
