PROCEDE ET APPAREIL PERMETTANT LA MESURE NON INVASIVE D'UNE FONCTION TISSULAIRE ET D'UN METABOLISME TISSULAIRE PAR LA DETERMINATION DE L'ANISOTROPIE DE FLUORESCENCE A L'ETAT STABLE
A non-invasive measurement of biological tissue reveals information about the function of that tissue. Polarized light is directed onto the tissue, stimulating the emission of fluorescence, due to one or more endogenous fluorophors in the tissue. Fluorescence anisotropy is then calculated. Such measurements of fluorescence anisotropy are then used to assess the functional status of the tissue, and to identify the existence and severity of disease states. Such assessment can be made by comparing a fluorescence anisotropy profile with a known profile of a control.
