Claim 20:
21. A method comprising:
providing a sensor head for a tissue oximetry device comprising:
a plurality of detector structures arranged on the sensor head; and
a first source structure and a second source structure positioned in a line on the sensor head, wherein a first detector structure of the detector structures is a first distance from the first source structure,
a second detector structure of the detector structures is a second distance from the second source structure,
a third detector structure of the detector structures is a third distance from the first source structure,
the first and second detector structures are not positioned on the line,
the first distance and the second distance are equal, and
the first distance and the third distance are not equal; and
enclosing a processing module in a housing coupled to the sensor head, wherein the processing module is adapted for using information collected from the first and the second detector structures and not from the third detector structure to determine a correction due to a variation between the first and second source structures.
