Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING FLUIDITY OF BLOOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006068491
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To evaluate fluidity of blood easily and with high sensitivity.
With a pressure bag belt 10 wrapped around the surface of a skin of a finger tip 100 or the like of a subject, and applying a compression thereto, the blood in a capillary blood vessel under the skin is flown out to the surroundings, and by irradiating the skin where the compresion is applied with light from a light emitting element 21, measuring a degree of the light absorption as a light reception quantity of a light receiving element 22, and optically measuring the change of a quantity of blood in the capillary blood vessel with passage of time after applying the oppression, the fluidity of the blood (mainly viscosity μ) is evaluated.
