METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EXAMINATION OF CANCER, SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS (SLE), OR ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY SYNDROME USING NEAR-INFRARED LIGHT

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide apparatuses for examining/diagnosing clinical disease of cancer, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Blood, blood-derived component, urine, sweat, nail, skin, or hair is irradiated with light having a wavelength of 400 to 2,500 nm or a part of the range, of which the reflection light, the transmission light, or the transmission reflection light is then detected to give spectroscopic absorbance data, and afterward a previously prepared analysis model is used to analyze the absorbance over the whole wavelengths or at a specific wavelength for the measurement to allow the achievement of the object.
