NON-INVASIVE BIOLIPID METABOLISM MEASURING DEVICE, NON-INVASIVE METHOD FOR MEASURING BIOLIPID CONCENTRATION

摘要

The non-invasive biolipid concentration meter comprises: an irradiator (2) that emits light at a given intensity toward the inside of a living body from outside; a light intensity detector (3) that is disposed at a given distance from a position (21) irradiated with the light from the irradiator (2) and that determines the intensity of light emitted from the living body; a scattering coefficient calculator (4) that calculates the coefficient of light scattering within the living body on the basis of the light intensity determined with the light intensity detector (3); and a lipid concentration calculator (5) that calculates the lipid concentration in the living body on the basis of the coefficient of light scattering.
