title: Non-invasive monitoring of brain temperature by near-infrared spectroscopy.
abstract: Optical techniques are promising methods for measuring tissue temperature noninvasively due to the transparency of tissue to near infrared-light and the temperature dependent light-absorbing properties of endogenous absorbers, particularly water. Besides being noninvasive, the instruments are compact and portable, permitting bedside monitoring.
