Performanceof an Automated Six-Wavelength Measurement of HemoglobinDerivatives

چکیده
A new instrument for spectrophotometric determination of oxygen saturation (S) and the fractions of carboxyhemoglobin (FHo) and methemoglobin (FHI), the Hemoximeter OSM3 (Radiometer), was tested by comparativemeasurements with a multiwavelength method. We found that it gave reliable results for freshly drawn samples from patients. When samples with artificially induced high proportions of HbCO or Hi, or both, were introduced, results were still sufficiently accurate. The presence of sulfhemoglobin (SHb) seriously interfered with the measurement of S02, FHbCO, and FH,, but the instrument reliably indicated its presence. Because SHb is rarely encountered, a reliable warning for its presence is adequate for clinical practice. Using the instrument in its fetal mode, we obtained accurate results for blood samples from newborns.

متن کاملAlgorithms for automated oximetry along the retinal vascular tree from dual-wavelength fundus images.
We present an automated method to perform accurate, rapid, and objective measurement of the blood oxygen saturation over each segment of the retinal vascular hierarchy from dual-wavelength fundus images. Its speed and automation (2 s per entire image versus 20 s per segment for manual methods) enables detailed level-by-level measurements over wider areas. An automated tracing algorithm is used ...

Background: Since the introduction of the first radioimmunoassay, several improvements have been made in the design of immunoassays such as method of antibody production, labeling, automation and detection technology. We performed an analytical evaluation of the new electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) for serum TSH, FT4 and T3 in the Elecsys 2010 immunoassay system and compared the resu...
متن کاملFeasibility Study of Real-time and Automated Monitoring of Iranian Rivers using 50-kHz Fluvial Acoustic Tomography System
Acoustic Tomography (AT) technique is an innovative method for real-time river monitoring. In this study, not only the accuracy of flow velocity measurement using 50 kHz AT system which is appropriate for narrow rivers (most Iranian rivers) is evaluated, but also its performance is compared with 30 kHz one which is used in wide rivers. The comparison results showed that the velocity resolutions...
متن کاملOPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THIN Cu FILMS AS A FUNCTION OF SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE
Copper films (250 nm) deposited on glass substrates, at different substrate temperatures. Their optical properties were measured by ellipsometery (single wavelength of 589.3 nm) and spectrophotometery in the spectral range of 200–2600 nm. Kramers Kronig method was used for the analysis of the reflectivity curves of Cu films to obtain the optical constants of the films, while ellipsometery measu...
