Description

This lecture covers the application of light absorption in photomedicine, focusing on pulse oximetry. It explains the process of oxygenation in blood, the role of deoxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin, and the use of a two-wavelength oximeter. The theoretical background of the Beer-Lambert law and the functional oxygen saturation are also discussed.
