Abstract
Computational modeling provides a powerful tool for identifying optimal phantom-based test methods in NIRS oximetry. We implemented a Monte Carlo model to enable the simulation of NIRS devices with specific illumination-collection geometries and to identify appropriate performance test methods. Initially, we validated that our in silico approach provided adequate convergence and identified a phantom size that was optically semi-infinite. We then assessed the impact of NIRS sensor orientations and positions on a simulated channel-array phantom. Additional simulations are currently underway to extract oxygen saturation and determine the effect of phantom layer thicknesses, vessel spacing, and diameter.
