ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for non-invasive measurement within a human or animal body with an emitter for emitting electromagnetic radiation into the human or animal body and a detector for detecting the scattered and attenuated radiation. The detector comprises a first principal detector and at least one second reference detector. The second detector is disposed a distance from the emitter which is less than the distance of the first principal detector from the emitter. The second detector is disposed on a line of radius from the emitter which forms an angle with the line of the radius from the emitter on which the first principal detector lies.
