Spectrophotometric apparatus for the non-invasive determination of glucose in body tissues

A directive light beam (9) in a wavelength range appropriate for penetrating into body tissues is applied to a portion (20) of patient's body and the energy transmitted or back-scattered by the underlying tissue is analyzed spectrophotometrically for the presence of glucose. Analysis is perform...

Zusammenfassung:A directive light beam (9) in a wavelength range appropriate for penetrating into body tissues is applied to a portion (20) of patient's body and the energy transmitted or back-scattered by the underlying tissue is analyzed spectrophotometrically for the presence of glucose. Analysis is performed using especially selected bands in the near-infrared region.
