Differential values, for use in blood oxygenation calculations, are determined based on multiple sample values for each channel of an oximetry system, each such value constituting a data point. In one implementation, each of these data points is defined by a sample window (220, 222 and 224), where the window includes, for example, 7-10 data points. That is, the data points within window (220, 222 or 224) are used to establish a differential value nominally associated with the data sample about which the window is centered. The differential value is calculated based on a mathematical model such as a weighted linear regression analysis. In this manner, output may be provided on a sample-by-sample basis while mitigating noise sensitivity. |
