| Abstract: | Breast cancer poses a significant global health challenge. Breast cancer cells compared to healthy tissue cells have been associated with decreases in normal oxygen saturation levels. Pulse oximetry might be able to pick up on this difference, but is currently used to monitor peripheral arterial oxygenation. Two experiments have been done. In the first experiment an array of six reflective pulse oximeters has been compared to a finger pulse oximeter on the arm and an average Pearson correlation of -0.51 has been found and no to weak fits for linear regression between the modulation ratio of the reflective pulse oximeters and the oxygen concentration of the finger pulse oximeter. In the second experiment it was found that the used red and blue watercolor along with the phantom made of PVC plastisol could form a simple model for a breast with oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood when using these sensors and that the phantom made of gelatin, acetic acid and water was not suitable with the used sensors. |
