<p>Described is a method for measuring the concentration of a blood constituent within a body part (80) of a living subject which comprises irradiating a body part of the subject with a continuum of a broad spectrum of radiation in adjacent and near infrared range of the electomagnetic spectrum; collecting the band of radiation after the radiation has been directed onto the part; dispersing the continuum of collected radiation into a dispersed spectrum of component wavelengths onto a detector (120) the detector taking measurements of at least one of transmitted or reflected radiation from the collected radiation; and transferring the measurements to a processor (300), and then measuring the same kind of absorbance or reflectance with respect to one or more a discrete wavelengths of radiation from the longer near infrared range and using the measurements to calculate the concentration of the constituent.</p> |
