Title:
NONINVASIVE ANALYSIS METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/106752
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method whereby a biological process in a mammalian subject is more effectively analyzed or measured with the use of noninvasive imaging. More specifically speaking, a method of conducting more effective optical noninvasive imaging by using a luminescent enzyme which exhibits a luminescent activity in the long wavelength side with a high tissue permeability and shows little change in the luminescent spectrum depending on pH.
