What makes NIRS medical imaging devices different?
All NIRS technology is not the same.
You might see differences in:
- Ability of the device to accurately capture data in highly melanated skin (up to Fitzpatrick Skin Types V or VI)
- Data output in various lighting conditions
- Ability of the device to detect tissue and non-tissue
- Features allowing the provider to complete a bedside assessment directly on the device
- Data output depending on the angle of the device and position of the patient
- Accuracy of tissue oxygenation readings
Different devices may have unique technical specifications and features which have the potential to impact data output.
