Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02069790A2] Method for the selective determination of a light transport parameter, characteristic of the light scattering in a biological matrix (5), in particular for the purpose of non-invasive determination of the concentration of glucose in the biological matrix. The above includes a number of detection measurements in which light is injected into the biological sample as primary light and an intensity value for escaping secondary light measured in a detection location, which is found at various separations from the location of light injection for the number of detection measurements. The light transport parameter which is characteristic for the light scattering in the biological matrix is derived from the intensity values in an analytical step by means of an analytical algorithm. According to the invention, the scattering coefficient can be selectively determined, whereby the analytical algorithm comprises a step in which a value for change with time DELTA tI(r) describing the change with time of the intensity value is derived from at least two different intensity values from different times.
