ABSTRACT:
A glucose concentration in a living tissue as a target is determined by the following method. Near-infrared radiation is projected on the living tissue, and a resulting radiation emitted from the living tissue is received. A spectrum analysis of the resulting radiation is performed to detect a first absorption signal from a wavelength region, e.g., 1550 nm to 1650 nm, having an absorption peak of OH group derived from glucose molecule, a second absorption signal from a wavelength region, e.g., 1480 nm to 1550 nm, having an absorption peak of NH group in the living tissue, and a third absorption signal from a wavelength region, e.g., 1650 nm to 1880 nm, having an absorption peak of CH group in the living tissue. The glucose concentration is determined by a multivariate analysis of results of the spectrum analysis, in which the first, second and third absorption signals are used as explanatory variables, and the glucose concentration is a criterion variable. This method can predict the glucose concentration of the subject with an improved accuracy.
