Latest Patents
Jangwoen Lee holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for dynamically monitoring multiple in vivo tissue chromophores." This invention utilizes a broadband diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) system to dynamically calculate the concentrations of multiple chromophores in vivo using a non-invasive probe. The device allows for the dynamic monitoring of multiple in vivo tissue chromophores non-invasively, with the necessary sensitivities for effective therapeutic monitoring. The probe includes first and second source optical fibers, as well as first and second detector optical fibers. It is placed adjacent to a sample of interest to detect reflected light, which is then analyzed by a proximally located detector and spectrometer. The concentrations of multiple chromophores, including methemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin, water, and methylene blue, are determined in real time. This device is particularly useful for quantifying and monitoring methemoglobin formation in subjects suffering from methemoglobinemia.
