In the past, comparison of mean values or variances measured from multiple subjects with one another has been a mainstream of diagnostic support to be achieved using cerebral activity signals. However, in this case, it is hard to absorb individual differences, and the precision in a diagnostic support technology is low. In order to improve the precision in the diagnostic support technology, the property of data acquired by an optical organism measurement system is utilized in order to create and display information representing a change in the condition of each person. Thus, diagnosis of each person is effectively supported. Measured light signals are used to calculate and record changes in the concentrations of oxidized hemoglobin (Hb), deoxidized Hb, and total Hb respectively. Based on each data (representing the Hb concentration changes), two or more Hb concentration changes (for example, the oxidized Hb concentration change and deoxidized Hb concentration change) are classified according to whether the changes are increases or decreases, and indicated in the form of symbols, an image, or a graph. Thus, an examining person is provided with compressed and simplified information and supported in diagnosis.
摘要:
To control information obtained from inside of a living body with higher precision as compared to that in the conventional technology by controlling a ratio of intensities of light, directed to a trial body, in a plurality of wavelength ranges different in peak wavelength from each other, a measurement error included in information obtained from the living body can be controlled by changing a ratio of intensity of the light in the first wavelength range against that of the light in the second wavelength range. When intensity of irradiated light is limited from the viewpoint of safety to the trial subject, keeping a ratio of the light irradiated to the trial body in the first wavelength range against that of the light in the second wavelength range under a prespecified value and also changing the ratio of irradiated light intensities under the prespecified value.
摘要:
A response period is determined arbitrarily. A satisfactory detecting ability may not be provided because of an artifact or the like contained in a signal. Therefore, an effective detection method and an effective display method of presenting results of detection must be developed. A series of tasks (stimuli) or a selected measurement signal is used as a reference signal, and a phase difference of any other measurement signal from the reference signal is calculated. The synchronousness of the phase of the measurement signal with the phase of the reference signal is numerically expressed. The thus obtained numerical value is statistically processed in order to numerically express a degree of reliability. Thus, a brain activity or a functional connectivity is visualized.
摘要:
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.
