Abstract
An implantable ischemia detection system in which a white LED () produces a continuous, visible, broadband light illuminating a target site (). Light backscattered by the target is collected by a sensor (), allowing for an index of ischemia to be determined, and subsequently transmitted by a sending unit (). Power is provided by an internal power source (). The entire implantable device is encapsulated by a biocompatible shell () to add long-term safety with regard to implantation.
