Basic Principles of Organization of System Software for Multifunctional Noninvasive Spectrophotometric Diagnostic Devices and Systems

摘要

Optical diagnostic systems find increasing application in modern medicine due to such advantages as high sensitivity of modern optoelectronic detectors of radiation and wide variety of available inexpensive laser and LED light sources. In particular, optical diagnostic systems are widely used for noninvasive spectropho-tometry [10], which includes optical pulsoximetry, biophotometry, fluorescence diagnosis, as well as various combined diagnostic techniques [6-11]. These methods meet the worldwide trend toward introduction into medical practice of effective diagnostic methods minimizing invasiveness, radiation load, and other physiologically and psychologically undesirable effects. Complex noninvasive spectrophotometric techniques make it possible to perform real-time monitoring of the functional and pathophysiological state of tissues using special contact sensors.
