SignificanceReference cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) data on the pediatric population are scarce, and in most cases, only cerebral oxygen saturation (SO2) measured by continuous wave spatially resolved spectroscopy NIRS is reported. Absolute data for baseline optical and hemodynamic parameters are missing.AimWe aimed at collecting baseline cerebral optical parameters [absorption coefficient, μa; reduced scattering coefficient, μs′; differential pathlength factor (DPF)] and hemodynamic parameters [oxy-hemoglobin content (HbO2), deoxyhemoglobin content (HHb), total hemoglobin content (tHB), SO2] in a large cohort of pediatric patients. The objectives are to establish reference optical values in this population and evaluate the reproducibility of a commercial time domain (TD) NIRS tissue oximeter.ApproachTD NIRS measurements were performed in the prefrontal cortex at 686 and 830 nm with a 2.5-cm source–detector distance and 1-Hz acquisition rate. Five independent measurements (after probe replacement) were taken for every subject. TD NIRS data were fitted to a photon diffusion model to estimate the optical parameters. From the absorption coefficients, the hemodynamic parameters were derived by Beer’s law. Auxological and physiological information was also collected to explore the potential correlations with NIRS data.ResultsWe measured 305 patients in the age range of 2 to 18 years. Absolute values for baseline optical and hemodynamic parameters were shown as a function of age and auxological variables. From the analysis of the repositioning after probe replacement, the time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy device exhibited an average precision (intended as coefficient of variation) of <5% for μs′, DPF, HbO2, HHb, and tHb, whereas precision was <2% for SO2.ConclusionsWe provided baseline values for optical and hemodynamic parameters in a large cohort of healthy pediatric subjects with good precision, providing a foundation for future investigations into clinically relevant deviations in these parameters.

SignificanceWe explore the feasibility of using time-domain (TD) and continuous-wave (CW) functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to monitor brain hemodynamic oscillations during resting-state activity in humans, a phenomenon that is of increasing interest in the scientific and medical community and appears to be crucial to advancing the understanding of both healthy and pathological brain functioning.AimOur general object is to maximize fNIRS sensitivity to brain resting-state oscillations. More specifically, we aim to define comprehensive guidelines for optimizing main operational parameters in fNIRS measurements [average photon count rate, measurement length, sampling frequency, and source-detector distance (SSD)]. In addition, we compare TD and CW fNIRS performance for the detection and localization of oscillations.ApproachA series of synthetic TD and CW fNIRS signals were generated by exploiting the solution of the diffusion equation for two different geometries of the probed medium: a homogeneous medium and a bilayer medium. Known and periodical perturbations of the concentrations of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin were imposed in the medium, determining changes in its optical properties. The homogeneous slab model was used to determine the effect of multiple measurement parameters on fNIRS sensitivity to oscillatory phenomena, and the bilayer model was used to evaluate and compare the abilities of TD and CW fNIRS in detecting and isolating oscillations occurring at different depths. For TD fNIRS, two approaches to enhance depth-selectivity were evaluated: first, a time-windowing of the photon distribution of time-of-flight was performed, and then, the time-dependent mean partial pathlength (TMPP) method was used to retrieve the hemoglobin concentrations in the medium.ResultsIn the homogeneous medium case, the sensitivity of TD and CW fNIRS to periodical perturbations of the optical properties increases proportionally with the average photon count rate, the measurement length, and the sampling frequency and approximatively with the square of the SSD. In the bilayer medium case, the time-windowing method can detect and correctly localize the presence of oscillatory components in the TD fNIRS signal, even in the presence of very low photon count rates. The TMPP method demonstrates how to correctly retrieve the periodical variation of hemoglobin at different depths from the TD fNIRS signal acquired at a single SSD. For CW fNIRS, measurements taken at typical SSDs used for short-separation channel regression show notable sensitivity to oscillations occurring in the deep layer, challenging the assumptions underlying this correction method when the focus is on analyzing oscillatory phenomena.ConclusionsWe demonstrated that the TD fNIRS technique allows for the detection and depth-localization of periodical fluctuations of the hemoglobin concentrations within the probed medium using an acquisition at a single SSD, offering an alternative to multi-distance CW fNIRS setups. Moreover, we offered some valuable guidelines that can assist researchers in defining optimal experimental protocols for fNIRS studies.

Robustness of tissue oxygenation estimates by continuous wave space-resolved near infrared spectroscopy

SignificanceContinuous wave near infrared spectroscopy (CW-NIRS) is widely exploited in clinics to estimate skeletal muscles and brain cortex oxygenation. Spatially resolved spectroscopy (SRS) is generally implemented in commercial devices. However, SRS suffers from two main limitations: the a priori assumption on the spectral dependence of the reduced scattering coefficient [μs′(λ)] and the modeling of tissue as homogeneous.AimWe studied the accuracy and robustness of SRS NIRS. We investigated the errors in retrieving hemodynamic parameters, in particular tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), when μs′(λ) was varied from expected values, and when layered tissue was considered.ApproachWe simulated hemodynamic variations mimicking real-life scenarios for skeletal muscles. Simulations were performed by exploiting the analytical solutions of the photon diffusion equation in different geometries: (1) semi-infinite homogeneous medium and constant μs′(λ); (2) semi-infinite homogeneous medium and linear changes in μs′(λ); (3) two-layered media with a superficial thickness s1 = 5, 7.5, 10 mm and constant μs′(λ). All simulated data were obtained at source-detector distances ρ = 35, 40, 45 mm, and analyzed with the SRS approach to derive hemodynamic parameters (concentration of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, total hemoglobin concentration, and tissue oxygen saturation, StO2) and their relative error.ResultsVariations in μs′(λ) affect the estimated StO2 (up to ±10 % ), especially if changes are different at the two wavelengths. However, the main limitation of the SRS method is the presence of a superficial layer: errors strongly larger than 20% were retrieved for the estimated StO2 when the superficial thickness exceeds 5 mm.ConclusionsThese results highlight the need for more sophisticated strategies (e.g., the use of multiple short and long distances) to reduce the influence of superficial tissues in retrieving hemodynamic parameters and warn the SRS users to be aware of the intrinsic limitation of this approach, particularly when exploited in the clinical environment.
