1. A system for determining whether a regional oximetry sensor is properly positioned on a subject, the system comprising:

  • one or more inputs configured for;

    receiving a first signal representative of an intensity of light at a first detector of the regional oximetry sensor; and

    receiving a second signal representative of an intensity of light at a second detector of the regional oximetry sensor; and

    one or more processors configured for;

    determining a first metric value based on the first signal;

    determining a second metric value based on the second signal; and

    determining, based on the first metric value, the second metric value, and a relationship between the first metric and the second metric, whether the regional oximetry sensor is properly positioned on the subject.
