Tissue Saturation Index (TSI) - Absolute oxygenation measure in local tissues

Tissue Saturation Index (TSI) is an absolute measure for the local tissue oxygenation in tissue beneath the sensor. To obtain TSI, a technique called Spatial Resolved Spectroscopy (SRS) is used. TSI can be measured in both brain and muscle. Some of our devices provide the possibility to acquire absolute TSI, next to relative concentration changes in oxy- and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Learn more about the TSI and how to correctly use it in this blogpost.
