Can diffuse reflectance spectroscopy identify shuntodynia in pediatric hydrocephalus patients?

DRS could provide a viable mode in routine bedside monitoring of subjects with VP shunts for clinical management and assessment of shuntodynia.PMID:38476219 | PMC:PMC10929735 | DOI:10.1117/1.JBO.29.3.037002
