Benefits of technology

[0019] Despite their potential, the known photo-acoustic and impedance methods suffer from limited accuracy. The present invention facilitates non-invasive measurements in a human body by providing a novel method and device for measuring time variations of a response of the blood perfused fleshy medium (e.g., finger) to an external electromagnetic field. It should be understood that measuring of the response from blood may be aimned at determining blood-related parameter(s), or may be aimed at determining tissue-related parameter(s) in which case “blood” response presents a “noise” part and is determined to be extracted from the entire measured signal.

Abstract

A method and system are presented for use in non-invasive measurements in a patient's body. A condition of artificial blood kinetics is created at a measurement location in a patient's blood perfused fleshy medium, and this condition is maintained for a certain time period. An external electromagnetic field is applied to the measurement location while under the condition of artificial blood kinetics. A time variation of a response of the blood perfused fleshy medium to this external electromagnetic field is detected, and measured data indicative thereof is generated. The response of the medium can be a photo-acoustic signal obtained in response to incident light, and / or impedance of the medium in response to the applied ac electromagnetic field.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to techniques for non-invasive measurements in a human body, and in particular, to a method and system for measuring blood characteristics by photo-acoustic and electrical measurement techniques. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Non-invasive techniques for measuring various blood parameters, e.g. the concentration of glucose in blood, blood oxygen saturation, etc. have become very popular, since they do not require the withdrawal of a blood sample from a patient's body. One approach for non-invasively determining the composition of blood makes use of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the blood under examination. It is known that electromagnetic radiation having appropriate characteristics may interact with blood in two primary ways. As it passes through a fleshy medium, the radiation is scattered and a portion of it will be absorbed. Different chemical species of the blood scatter and absorb to different degrees ...
