Validation of a Monte Carlo platform for the optical modelling of pulse oximetry Vicente Azorin-Peris Sijung Hu 2134/22222 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Validation_of_a_Monte_Carlo_platform_for_the_optical_modelling_of_pulse_oximetry/9568421 A custom Monte Carlo (MC) platform has been established to generate opto-physiological models of mechanisms in pulse oximetry. The current research is an exploration of the process of empirically validating such a platform. With the growing availability and accuracy of tissue optical properties in literatures, MC simulation of light-tissue interaction is providing increasingly valuable information for optical bio-monitoring research. However, the extent of the validity of results from such simulations depends heavily on its agreement with empirical data. The use of images captured from a CMOS camera for the construction of intensity distributions of light transmitted through the human finger has been investigated to compare with corresponding distributions produced in the MC simulations. 2016-08-05 13:38:21 Photoplethysmography Mechanical Engineering not elsewhere classified
