Résumé
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive optical method that measures changes in hemoglobin concentration and oxygenation. The measured light intensity is susceptible to reduced signal quality due to the presence of melanin. We quantify the influence of melanin concentration on NIRS measurements taken with a frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy system using 690 and 830 nm. Using a forehead NIRS probe, we measured 35 healthy participants and investigated the correlation between melanin concentration indices, which were determined using a colorimeter, and several key metrics from the NIRS signal. These metrics include signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), two measurements of oxygen saturation (arterial oxygen saturation, We found a significant negative correlation between the melanin index and the SNR estimated in oxy-hemoglobin signals ( We found that estimated SNR and
