Optical measurement of glucose content of the aqueous humor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many diabetics must measure their blood glucose levels regularly to maintain good health. In principle, one way of measuring the glucose concentration in the human body would be by measuring optically the glucose content of the aqueous humor in the eye. Lein Applied Diagnostics wish to assess whether this is feasible by a linear confocal scan with an LED source, or by supplementing such a system with other measurements.

Polarized Mueller Matrix Analytical Model for Glucose Measurement in Vitro
In this study we present a noninvasive and nonradioactive glucose in vitro measurement technique using the Mueller polarization analytical model. The glucose solution and aqueous humor phantoms are illuminated with a He-Ne (632.8 nm) laser. This in vitro study provides a base and reference data for in vivo eye glucose monitoring. The 16 Mueller polarization matrix element images give informatio...
متن کاملNoninvasive polarimetric-based glucose monitoring: an in vivo study.
BACKGROUND Since 1990, there has been significant research devoted toward development of a noninvasive physiological glucose sensor. In this article, we report on the use of optical polarimetry for the noninvasive measurement of physiological glucose concentration in the anterior chamber of the eye of New Zealand white (NZW) rabbits. METHOD Measurements were acquired using a custom-designed l...
متن کاملIntraocular dynamics of lactic acid in the rabbit.
Lactic acid is found in the aqueous humor at a concentration higher than that in the blood. The processes which determine this distribution have been investigated in the rabbit. After parenteral injection of isotopically labeled lactate, samples of intraocular fluids and plasma were taken and analyzed for radioactivity. It was found that lactate entered the posterior aqueous fairly rapidly from...
متن کاملReal-time, closed-loop dual-wavelength optical polarimetry for glucose monitoring.
The development of a real-time, dual-wavelength optical polarimetric system to ultimately probe the aqueous humor glucose concentrations as a means of noninvasive diabetic glucose monitoring is the long-term goal of this research. The key impact of the work is the development of an approach for the reduction of the time-variant corneal birefringence due to motion artifact, which is still a limi...
متن کاملNon-invasive Optical Techniques for determination of blood Glucose levels: A Review Article
This article reviews the development of non-invasive optical techniques for determination of blood glucose concentrations in diabetic patients. Early diagnosis and daily management are essential for ensuring the healthy life of diabetic patients. The determination of blood glucose concentration with common devices involves the chemical analysis of blood samples, which are obtained by pricking t...
