    摘要: Apparatus and method for non-invasively measuring at least one optical parameter of a sample, particularly a sample of tissue that comprises a plurality of layers. The at least one parameter can be used to determine the presence or concentration of an analyte of interest in the sample of tissue. The apparatus and method of the present invention (1) measure light that is substantially reflected, scattered, absorbed, or emitted from a shallower layer of the sample of tissue, (2) measure light that is substantially reflected, scattered, absorbed, or emitted from a deeper layer of the sample of tissue, (3) determine at least one optical parameter for each of these layers, and (4) account for the effect of the shallower layer on the at least one optical parameter of the deeper layer. Specifying the sampling depth allows determinations of the optical properties of a specific layer of the sample of the tissue, e.g., dermis, and decreases interference from other layers, e. g., stratum corneum and epidermis, in these determinations.

    摘要: A method for determining the concentration of an analyte in tissues. The method involves compensating for a change in the value of an optical property of the tissues, such as, for example, the scattering coefficient, resulting from a change in the hydration status of the tissues. The method comprises the steps of: (a) measuring at least one optical property of a tissue sample at at least one wavelength at an initial time; (b) calculating the absorption coefficient and the scattering coefficient of the tissue sample at the initial time; (c) repeating the measurement of the at least one optical property of the tissue sample at at least a later time at the at least one wavelength; (d) calculating the absorption coefficient and scattering coefficient of the tissue sample at at least the later time; (e) calculating the change in the value of the absorption coefficient at the at least one wavelength to indicate the change in the water content of the tissue sample and the change in the value of the scattering coefficient to indicate both the change in the water content of the tissue sample and the change in concentration of an analyte in the tissue sample; (f) correcting the value of the scattering coefficient to account for the effect of the change in the water content of the tissue sample; and (g) calculating the concentration of the analyte by means of the corrected value of the scattering coefficient.
