Title:
A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING IN VIVO BODY LUMEN CONDITIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002055984
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of in vivo diagnostics. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and a method for the in vivo and in-situ detection of chemical and/or biological substances and for the in vivo detection of physical conditions in body lumens. Figure 1 shows interaction chambers (22), formed by a slab of glass (23), or between two pieces of glass (23A and 23B). A light source (24) is used to illuminate the interaction chambers, and an optical detector (26) detects changes within the interaction chambers. A reflector (25) may be utilized to re-direct light rays (27') from the light source (24) along an alternate path (27).
