- FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the results of measurement in a resting state with the same posture at the time of measurement in consideration of the effects of body temperature, pulse, and the like.
- FIG. 17A is a plot of the time change of the TG change amount and the time change of the flow rate at the time of fat loading.
- FIG. 17B shows the correlation between the TG change amount and the flow rate in FIG. 17A. As can be seen in FIG. 17A, it can be confirmed that the flow rate decreases as the lipid concentration increases.
- FIG. 17B shows that there is a correlation of 0.757 between the TG change amount and the flow rate. Also from this result, it was found that the lipid concentration can be calculated from blood information other than veins.
- Metabolic information can be obtained more accurately compared to vein information using the methods described in the references. Further, by comparing the case where the light source is brought into contact with the case where the light source is not brought into contact, it is possible to obtain information on only the vein.

Abstract
Description
(1)光の拡散の光到達面積Sから脂質濃度を算出する手法(手法1)
(2)静脈による光の拡散の光到達範囲Fの歪みから脂質濃度を算出する手法(手法2)(3)光の拡散の光到達面積Sから脂質濃度を算出する手法(手法3)
この手法は、静脈上以外の部分を分析することで毛細血管などの情報のみでも計測可能であることから、計測部位に依存しない。また、簡易的に光到達範囲あるいは光到達面積を光到達距離として分析してもよい。
静脈を介した場合、光は同心円状に拡散せず、光到達範囲Fは歪みを生じた形状になる。ここで、光入射地点から光到達点の最大光到達距離l1と最小光到達距離l2を比較した。
この手法は、特に毛細血管などの情報のみでも計測可能であることから、計測部位に依存しない。
