Paper Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common side effect of spinal cord injuries. Blood perfusion in the bone
provides an indication of bone health and may help to evaluate therapies addressing bone loss.
Current methods for measuring blood perfusion of bone use dyes and ionizing radiation, and
yield qualitative results. We present a device capable of measuring blood oxygenation in the
tibia. The device illuminates the skin directly over the tibia with a white light source and
measures the diffusely reflected light in the near infrared spectrum. Multiple source-detector
distances are utilized so that the blood perfusion in skin and bone may be differentiated.
