摘要：
According to a method for using near infrared spectroscopy to detect compartment syndrome, an optics array is placed around a body region of a patient that contains a vulnerable compartment of tissue. The optics array includes emitters that generate photons at NIR wavelengths and detectors that detect photons at NIR wavelengths. Photons are emitted from at least one of the emitters, and detected at more than one of the detectors after those photons traveled through the tissues of the body region of the patient. A cross-sectional measure of regional differences in absorption within a cross-section of the body region of the patient is displayed so as to allow detection of compartment syndrome. The method is carried out with a device for using near infrared spectroscopy to detect compartment syndrome.
