The invention provides optical technique for measuring metabolism in a living body that can further reduce an error in measurement even if distance between irradiation and detection is fixed. The living body is classified into measurement regions and different measuring wavelengths are set according to the classification. For example, the head is classified into four regions of a parietal region, a frontal region, a temporal region and an occipital region and a wavelength according to each tissue is set in a wavelength selecting system. In measurement, wavelengths according to each measurement region are selected by multiple wavelengths-light radiating means. Besides, for a region having large personal difference, premeasurement is made using plural combinations of wavelengths and wavelengths are selected using a calculated error in measurement as a criterion.

摘要:
Optical computed tomography equipment adapted to speed up the scanning of a subject under test using irradiated light so as to shorten the measuring time involved. The light from a light source (15-1, 15-2) is guided over an optical fiber thread (12-5c) to an image inverting optical system comprising a dovetail prism (13-1) and two lenses (14-2, 14-1). Past the optical system, the light enters one of the threads making up an optical fiber (12-1). As the dovetail prism (13-1) is rotated around its optical axis, the light from the optical fiber thread (12-5c) consecutively enters different threads of the optical fiber (12-1), causing the irradiation position to scan a subject (11) of the test. The incident light, having passed through the subject (11) in various directions, goes through the respective threads of the optical fiber (12-1) to reach the image inverting optical device. From there, the light enters the corresponding threads of an optical fiber (12-4) and is detected by photo detectors (16-2a, 16-2b, etc.).
