Influence of blood pulsation on diagnostic
volume in pulse oximetry and
photoplethysmography measurements
Posted on 2019-11-21 - 18:33
Recent advances in the development of ultra-compact semiconductor lasers and
technology of printed flexible hybrid electronics have opened broad perspectives for the design of
new pulse oximetry and photoplethysmography devices. Conceptual design of optical diagnostic
devices requires careful selection of various technical parameters, including spectral range,
polarization and intensity of incident light, actual size, geometry, and sensitivity of the detector,
and mutual position of source and detector on the surface of skin. In current study utilizing a
unified Monte Carlo computational tool we explore the variations of diagnostic volume due to
arterial blood pulsation for the typical transmitted and back-scattered probing configurations at
human finger. The results of computational studies show that the variations of diagnostic volumes
due to arterial pulse wave are notably (up to 45%) different in visible and near-infrared spectral
ranges both in transmitted and back-scattered probing geometries. While these variations are
acceptable for relative measurements in pulse oximetry and/or photoplethysmography, for the
absolute measurements an alignment normalization of diagnostic volume is required, and can be
done by computational approach utilized in frame of current study.
