Project Overview

In order to maintain appropriate anesthesia dosages on four rats during PET imaging experiments, a device must be developed to monitor heart rates, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels, respiratory rates, and rectal temperatures of each rat individually. The goal this semester is to finish building the circuit boards, conduct testing on rats, and begin building the graphical user interface.
