Abstract
Provided are a method and systems for performing pulse oximetry. A light signal is emitted for a period of time and a modulated light signal is detected. The modulated light signal includes a red signal and an infrared signal. The modulated light signal is originated by an interaction of the light signal with a pulsatile tissue and a non-pulsatile tissue. The modulated light signal is processed to estimate an oxygen saturation in the pulsatile tissue during the period of time. The processing includes removing a non-pulsatile component resulting from the interaction of the light signal and the non-pulsatile tissue. The non-pulsatile component can be removed by removing a first parameter from an intensity of the infrared signal and a second parameter from an intensity of the red signal. The parameters are pre-determined using a calibration process to reproduce a true value for a ratio used to determine the oxygen saturation.
