On the possibility of using optoacoustic methods for studying the properties of biological tissues
Incoming article date: 14.06.2018The measurement of the total concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is widely used both in the general analysis to assess the general condition of a person, and during an operation associated with rapid blood loss, blood transfusions, or rapid fluid administration. Although current invasive methods for measuring hemoglobin are accurate, they require frequent blood sampling and some time to obtain results from a remote laboratory. Moreover, taking blood is often not an acceptable option for patients with surgery, as this can help reduce anemia. Optoacoustic method can be a good alternative to invasive methods
