Apparatus and method for measuring concentration of blood component using terahertz

摘要

An apparatus for measuring blood component concentration by using a terahertz wave, the apparatus comprising: a terahertz light source unit generating a terahertz wave in a predetermined range of THz, and emitting the generated terahertz wave to a specific region of a living body to measure blood component concentration; a terahertz generation controller controlling the generation of the terahertz wave in the terahertz light source unit; a terahertz detector detecting the intensity of light reflected from or penetrating into the specific region; a concentration analyzer analyzing the blood component concentration by using the detected light intensity; and a concentration indicator indicating the analyzed blood component concentration.
