More Information
Summary:A system and method are provided for determining tissue hydration. Specifically, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for determining tissue hydration. The method includes detecting electromagnetic radiation scattered and reflected from the living tissue and using the detected electromagnetic radiation to determine spectral absorption bandwidth. The method also includes correlating the spectral absorption bandwidth to a tissue hydration index.
