<p>The absence of a defined optical path length for in vivo measurements creates problems for the noninvasive measurement of analyte concentration. These problems can be reduced by combining measurements made at several wavelengths and using the fact that normal renal function causes the concentration of water in whole blood to be tightly controlled. Hence, the concentration of water in arterial blood can serve as a useful internal standard for such measurements. The measurements are then procured so as to remove the dependency of concentration on path length traversed by the illuminating radiation and on the scattering properties of the volume through which the illuminating radiation propagates. Using this method, one can create improved calibration for measurements of absorbing constituents in arterial blood and thereby provide absolute concentration measurements of constituents such as hemoglobin and glucose in arterial blood.</p> |
