MULTIFUNCTIONAL RADIOMETER, HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT, MULTIUSE MEASUREMENT TOOL, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING IRRADIANCE IN PHOTOTHERAPY

摘要

The present invention refers to a multifunctional radiometer having at least onen optical sensor (7), capable of allowing conversion of the incident light into an electrical sign, comprising at least: one selection key capable of allowing the selects of a type of luminous source (2) whose irradiance is wished to be measured; and one control unit (4) operatively connected to the optical sensor (7) and to the selection key, the control unit (4) being configured to calculate at least one irradiance value from a data originated from the optical sensor (7) and from a command originated from the selection key. The present invention also refers to a method for measuring irradiance in phototherapy, comprising the steps of i) selecting a type of luminous source (2) whose irradiance is wished to be measured (unprecedented fact in this type of tool, once it is necessary distinct calibrations for different types of spectral light source); ii) capturing light emitted by the luminous source (2); iii) converting the light captured in step ii into an electrical sign; and iv) calculating at least one irradiance value from the type of luminous source selected in step i and from the electrical sign obtained in step iii. The present invention further refers to a system, to a hospital equipment and to a multiuse measurement tool (10) capable of implementing the method abovementioned.
