    摘要: The present invention provides an optical analysis system for determining an amplitude of a principal component of an optical signal. The principal component is indicative of the concentration of a particular compound or various compounds of a substance that is subject to spectroscopic analysis. The optical signal is subject to wavelength selective weighting and wavelength selective spatial separation specified by a weighting function. The optical signal is preferably separated into two parts that corresponding to a positive and negative spectral band of the weighting function, respectively. The separation provides separate detection of the separated parts of the optical signal without significant loss of intensity, thereby providing an improved signal to noise ratio of the determined principal component. Separation and weighting of the optical signal is realized by two multivariate optical elements.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and device (1) for imaging an interior of a turbid medium (55). A turbid medium (55) inside a measurement volume (15) is irradiated from a plurality of source positions (25a) with light from a light source (5), and light emanating from the measurement volume (15) is detected from a plurality of detection positions (25b). An image of the interior of the turbid medium (55) is reconstructed from the detected light. In both the method and the device (1), detector signals can be amplified for each source position-detection position pair by a multi-gain amplification unit comprising an amplifier circuit (60). The amplification factor is selected from a number of possible amplification factors based on detected signal strength in the prior art. According to the invention, however, the method and device are adapted such that the amplification factor is selected for at least one source position-detection position pair on the basis of an estimate of expected electrical signal strength.

The invention also relates to a marker (60) for use in the method for imaging an interior of a turbid medium (25). The system, the medical image acquisition system, and the method may be used for obtaining an image of an interior of a turbid medium (25) by: accommodation of a turbid medium (25) inside a receiving volume (20); irradiation of the receiving volume (20) with light from a light source; detection of light emanating from the receiving volume (20) as a result of irradiating the receiving volume (20) with light from the light source through the use of a photodetector unit. The detected light is then used to reconstruct an image of an interior of the turbid medium (25). According to the invention, the system, the medical acquisition system, and the method are adapted such that during a measurement the receiving volume (20) comprises at least one marker (60) comprising a predetermined concentration of a chosen fluorescent agent. The light source is arranged for generating excitation light that causes fluorescent emission in the marker (60) and the photodetector is arranged to detect light emanating from the receiving volume (20) as a result of irradiating the receiving volume (20) with excitation light. The use of a marker (60) according to the invention enables obtaining information relating to the geometry of the turbid medium (25). If the turbid medium (25) comprises an unknown concentration of a second fluorescent agent, and the light source and the photodetector unit are arranged for causing fluorescence in the second fluorescent agent and detecting the resulting fluorescence light, respectively, the use of a marker (60) according to the invention enables calibration of the signal resulting from this fluorescence light.
