Embodiment Construction

[0169] Figure 1a with 1bTwo preferred embodiments of a sensor for non-invasive photoacoustic measurement of biomechanical and / or morphological characteristics of skin tissue according to the invention are schematically represented. The sensor comprises a housing 1 adapted and configured to be attached to the epidermis of human skin tissue 4 . The housing 1 may also define an acoustic chamber, ie an acoustic mirror adapted and configured to reflect ultrasound signals emanating from the sound absorber 8 of the skin tissue 4 towards the ultrasound detectors 5a, 5b. For this reason, it is particularly preferable to install the ultrasonic detector 5b at or near the focal point of the acoustic mirror (which may have the shape of a paraboloid or a spheroid), as shown in FIG. 1B . The sensor also comprises a light source 2 adapted and configured to simultaneously illuminate an illumination volume of human skin tissue 4 . The sensor also includes one or more ultrasound detectors 5a,...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a sensor for non-invasive optoacoustic measurements of biomechanical and / or morphological features of skin and / or other tissue.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sensor for the non-invasive photoacoustic measurement of characteristics of skin and / or other tissues, in particular biochemical, (patho)physiological, cellular, subcellular or morphological features and components of skin and / or other tissues . Background technique [0002] Numerous studies have identified changes in skin features, including microvasculature, as early indicators of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The skin is generally considered a "window" for many diseases, and it can allow monitoring of many parameters from skin composition to the moiety that circulates in the bloodstream. More generally, the sensing of tissues such as skin and subcutaneous tissue, including muscle or fatty deposits, provides early warning or detection of various conditions including physiology, pathophysiology, and disease, or monitors disease progression and therapeutic efficacy , can play an important role in reducing the...
