Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments of methods and techniques for measuring oxygen levels of an implant. The implant can have a plurality of oxygen-sensitive microparticles incorporated throughout. The oxygen-sensitive microparticles can receive light and emit excitation light in response. The levels of excitation light emitted can be directly related to oxygen concentration in the implant.
