A Monte Carlo study to assess the effect of skin tone on non-contact measurements of blood oxygenation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference article in proceedingsScientificpeer-review

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations of light propagation in a 7-layer skin model were used to assess the effect of skin tone on the oxygenation calibration curves, with darker skin (with higher melanin content) exhibiting steeper slopes.
