Publication overview 2018

, , , ,

We are proud to announce that Artinis devices again take the lead position in the NIRS scientific world. Every year we perform a systemic search in Google Scholar for publications that include the terms NIRS, fNIRS or near infrared spectroscopy. For research using Artinis devices we observed an increase of 13% in publications in 2017 compared to the previous year. For the current year this almost doubled to an increase of 24% in publications compared to 2017. We are very happy to report continuous growth in the number of publications in the last few years, while other companies show stagnating numbers.

Next to the overall number of publications using f(NIRS), we looked at the number of publications using portable NIRS devices. We are very glad to report that Artinis maintains its dominant position in the portable NIRS market.

A special thanks to our customers who published so many articles with our (f)NIRS devices and we hope you will keep on publishing in the future!

Short separation channels: the new trend in fNIRS
Short separation channels: the new trend in fNIRS

Short separation channels are the new trend in fNIRS. However, what is the functionality of such a short separation channel in brain oxygenation research?

A research lab on wheels: unveiling the Sophia Bus
A research lab on wheels: unveiling the Sophia Bus

The Sophia Bus was an idea pitched by researchers from the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology within Erasmus MC-Sophia Children’s Hospital. As a national expertise center for many rare neurodevelopmental syndromes, children all over the Netherlands need to travel all the way to Rotterdam frequently to participate in research studies. The Sophia bus minimizes the burden for these patients by offering the solution to this problem: a mobile research lab that carries researchers to the patients’ doorstep.

NIRS and connectivity measures: an Interview with Prof. Stephane Perrey
NIRS and connectivity measures: an Interview with Prof. Stephane Perrey

fNIRS, as a neuroimaging method, was introduced more than two decades ago. Innovation in equipment, tools, and methods based on related-neuroimaging methods is increasing thanks to several companies and academic laboratories. The use of fNIRS in future research practices will aid in advancing modern investigations of human brain function. Connectivity measures will contribute to the field of neuroscience and a multimodal imaging approach is likely required.

A research lab on wheels: an interview with Dr. Sabine Mous

Thanks to the very generous gifts of local companies and private individuals during the ‘Lichtjesactie’ (translates as ‘Candles project’) that was organized during Christmas time last year by the Stichting Vrienden van Sophia, the Sophia Childrens hospital were able to buy a camper van, which has been remodeled and transformed into a mobile research lab under close guidance of dr. Sabine Mous.

Laser and LED, what is the difference in NIRS?
Laser and LED, what is the difference in NIRS?

As an application Specialist at Artinis Medical Systems I get asked a lot what the differences are between lasers and LEDs. So, therefore a small blog to answer this question once and for all. Both laser and LED have their specific pros and cons. It depends very much on your research requirements what technique is best for you. I have broken down the differences in measuring depth, portability, pricing, wavelengths and safety in this blog.
