Description

For the NIR diagnostics of testes we developed a multi-channel laser spectrometer. In case of testicular torsion or inflammatory diseases oxygen saturation is an important parameter for the vitality of testicular tissue. For determining the capillary oxygen saturation we use spatially resolved spectroscopy. Therefor a special spectroscopy applicator has been developed. For differentiation of pathological testicular masses a special applicator allows to take a complete scan of the testis from 60 points around the surface for reconstruction of tomographical images.
