G. Litscher et al., LASER-DOPPLER DATA-ANALYSIS DURING INTERS TITIAL LASER THERMOTHERAPY UNDER MAGNETIC-RESONANCE CONTROL - AN EXPERIMENTAL-STUDY IN ANIMALS, Biomedizinische Technik, 42(4), 1997, pp. 93-96
The aim of the present study was to investigate, using laser Doppler (
LD) flowmetry, the phases immediately prior to and following experimen
tal, neurosurgical laser therapy in animals. Two statistical models ob
tained on the basis of discriminant analysis are described. These mode
ls should enable the user to classify the sets of parameters calculate
d from the LD signals. With both models - which contain 3 and 5 parame
ters, respectively - 100 % discrimination of the two phases was attain
ed. The usefulness of the models could be validated by results obtaine
d with other models.
