摘要：
A system for non-invasively measuring a physiologic status patient tissue according to an embodiment includes a housing； an optical spectroscope with a wavelength-sensitive sensor capable of detecting light intensity, at two or more distinct wavelengths, of light scattered and/or reflected by muscle tissue of the patient in order to measure a physiologic status of the muscle tissue, a bioimpedance sensor at least partially disposed within the housing, the bioimpedance sensor configured to generate a signal corresponding to an estimation of a thickness of an adipose tissue layer between the optical spectroscope and the muscle tissue, and a processor configured to (1) receive the estimations of the thickness, (2) compare the estimations of the thickness, and (3) based on the comparison, generate a visual indication configured to assist in placement of the housing toward or at a location corresponding to the smaller or smallest thickness of the adipose tissue layer.
