Definitions
- This invention relates to apparatus for use in non- invasive in vivo monitoring of physiological substances such as blood and the like.
- One particular, but not exclusive, application of the present invention is in the monitoring of blood glucose, for example in the management of diabetes mellitus. It is accepted that the management of diabetes can be much improved by routine monitoring of blood glucose concentration and clinicians suggest that monitoring as often as four times per day is desirable.
- the monitoring technique currently available for use by patients involves using a spring loaded lancet to stab the finger to obtain a blood sample which is transferred to a glucose test strip.
- the concentration is derived either by reading the test strip with a reflectance meter or by visual comparison of colour change against a colour scale.
- Many diabetics find the testing onerous as the technique is painful, inconvenient, messy, potentially embarrassing and offers a site for the transmittance and acceptance of infection.
- Techniques have also been developed for non invasive measurement using transmittance or reflectance spectroscopy . However the required instruments are expensive and it is difficult to obtain accurate and repeatable measurements .
- the present invention makes use of photoacoustic techniques.
- the fundamentals of photoacoustic techniques are well known per se.
- a pulse of light typically laser light, is applied to a substance containing an analyte of interest in solution or dispersion, the wavelength of the applied light being chosen to interact with the analyte.
- Absorption of the light energy by the analyte gives rise to microscopic localised heating which generates an acoustic wave which can be detected by an acoustic sensor.
- the present invention provides a sensor head for use in photoacoustic in vivo measurement, comprising a housing shaped to engage a selected body part, light transmission means terminating in said housing so as to transmit light energy from a light source to enter the body part along a beam axis, and acoustic transducer means mounted in the housing to receive acoustic waves generated by photoacoustic interaction within the body part, the acoustic transducer means being disposed in the housing to receive said acoustic wave in a direction of high acoustic energy.
- the transducer means is disposed so as to intercept acoustic energy propagating at right angles to the optical beam axis, or at an angle to the optical beam axis which may be down to about 20°, typically about 45°.
- the signal measured at the detector is just the superposition of all pressure waves from all points that are illuminated by the source light.
- An analytical solution for the pressure wave has been worked out for a few cases in aqueous material.
- the analytical case that best matches the in-vivo measurements is that of a cylindrical optical beam propagating in a weekly absorbing material.
- the direction of highest acoustic energy is perpendicular to the optical axis.
- the base detector location is with the plane of the detector perpendicular to the acoustic energy, or parallel to the optical axis. This is because the acoustic detector has the highest sensitivity when the acoustic energy strikes the detector perpendicular to the plane of the detector.
- the acoustic transducer means is arranged parallel to the optical beam axis. This arrangement is particularly suitable for use where the selected body part is the distal portion of a finger, in which case the housing may include a generally half-cylindrical depression in which the finger may be placed with the light transmission means aimed at the end of the finger.
- the acoustic transducer means comprises a piezoelectric transducer which most preferably is of a semi-cylindrical shape.
- This transducer may be provided with a backing of lead or other dense material, and the backing may have a rear surface shaped to minimise internal acoustic reflection.
- Alternative transducer means include a capacitor-type detector, which is preferably small and disk-shaped; an integrated semiconductor pressure sensor; and an optical pressure sensor, for example based on an optical fibre.
- the plane of the transducer may be arranged to be perpendicular to the optical axis to detect the acoustic wave which is propagating in a direction opposite to the direction of the light beam.
- the acoustic transducer means may be part-spherical with an aperture to allow access for the light beam. This may be particularly suitable for engagement with a body part other than the finger, for example the back of the arm.
- a surface wave detector may be provided in the sensing head assembly.
- Preferably means are provided for ensuring a consistent contact pressure between the selected body part and the acoustic transducer means.
- said means may be provided by mounting the portion of the housing engaged by the finger in a resiliently biased fashion against the remainder of the housing, and providing means to ensure that measurement is effected when the predetermined force or pressure is applied by the subject against the resilient bias.
- said means may be provided by placing the ear between two plates and applying pressure to the ear with springs or weights or other force method.
- the two plates holding the ear may contain a removable insert.
- the two plates may be flat or may be of another shape to optimally position the detector with respect to the beam axis.
- the present invention provides a sensor head for use in photoacoustic in-vivo measurements, comprising a housing shaped to receive a removable insert, a removable insert that engages a selected body part, the insert being fitted to an individual, allowing for a range of sizes of body parts to be used, and further comprising light transmission means terminating in or near said removable insert so as ⁇ to transmit light energy from a light source or sources to enter the body part along a beam axis, and an acoustic transducer means mounted in the housing or in the removable insert to receive acoustic waves generated by photoacoustic interaction within the body part to receive said acoustic waves in a direction of high acoustic energy.
- the present invention provides an in vivo measuring system comprising a sensor head as hereinbefore defined in combination with a light source coupled with the light transmission means, and signal processing means connected to receive the output of the acoustic transducer means and to derive therefrom a measurement of a selected physiological parameter.
- the light transmission means is a fiber distribution system where each light source is connected to an individual fiber and when multiple light sources are used the multiple fibres are joined by some standard fiber combining method, such as a wavelength division multiplexer or a fiber coupler.
- the fiber that comes from the light source, or contains the combined light for a multiple source system, is then terminated in proximity to the body part being measured.
- the fiber could be in contact with the body part or alternatively standard optics, such as lenses, beamsplitters and such, could be employed to convey the light from the end of the fiber to the body part.
- a reference detector or several reference detectors and beamsplitters can be added to the optical distribution system to determine the energy of the light entering the body part.
- the optical distribution system may contain mechanical holders, lenses and such to convey the light from the source, or sources, to a location in proximity to the body part being measured.
- a reference detector or several reference detectors and beamsplitters can be added to the optical distribution system to determine the energy of the light entering the body part.
- the acoustic signal from the detector contains information in both time and frequency, and there may be information from several sources.
- the processing means is preferably a multi-dimensional processing method, such as Classical Least Squares (CLS) or Partial Least Squares (PLS).
- CLS Classical Least Squares
- PLS Partial Least Squares
- the processing method may be more flexible, such as a Neural Network.
- the signals may be analysed for their frequency content using such techniques as Fourier Analysis or Frequency Filtering
- time information such as the time delay from source trigger. Techniques that combine both frequency and time information may be employed, such as Wavelet analysis.
- the light source is preferably a laser light source and is most suitably a pulsed diode laser, but may utilise a set of such lasers or utilise a tunable laser source.
- a laser diode is used with a wave length in the range of approximately 600 nm to 10,000 nm and a pulse duration of the order of 5 to 500 ns.
- the delivery to the measurement site may be either directly or by optical fibre with a suitable optical element to focus the beam into the tissue.
- Each source is switched on, and it generates an optical pulse, or a set of optical pulses. This pulse, or set of pulses, generates an acoustic signal that is detected by the detector.
- Each source is pulsed in sequence until all sources have been used to generate their own signal.
- the measuring system may conveniently be in the form of a self contained system including a power supply and a readout, which may be carried on the person and used at any convenient time.
- Such a self contained system may incorporate, or to be provided with facilities for connection to, a cellular telephone, two-way pager or other communication device for routine transmission of measurements taken to a central data collection point.
- the measuring system may have provision for manipulating the body part under measurement and for performing additional measurement of the tissue to get other information about the state of the physiology of the issue. It is well-known in the art that squeezing a section of tissue to increase the pressure and then releasing the pressure will cause changes in the total blood volume in the measurement site.
- the present invention may allow for this type of manipulation including the squeezing of a body part, such as an earlobe, and making photo acoustic measurements at several different pressures.
- the present invention may also allow for the measurement of the temperature of the body site and to apply a correction to the measurements based upon the temperature of the body site.
- body temperature Another type of physiological manipulation is body temperature. It is known in the art that several parameters involved in the detection of the photo acoustic signal, such as the speed of sound, are dependent upon the temperature of the medium the signal is propagating through (the tissue). Also the profusion of the blood in the small capillaries is dependent upon the temperature of the tissue. Additional information about the tissue can be obtained if the photo acoustic measurement is made at several temperatures, both higher and lower than ambient temperature. This additional information is used to better eliminate interferences to the determination of the analyte under investigation. These are only two examples of manipulating the body site and are not intended to be an exhaustive list, and they can be used in combination with other manipulation techniques.
- the in-vivo measuring system may comprise a means for storing calibration coefficients or operation parameters or both calibration coefficients and operational parameters, in order to calibrate the instrument and to set critical operational parameters.
- Another aspect of the present invention provides a means for adjusting the calibration coefficients and operational parameters to be specific to a particular person and may be used to adjust for such things as body part size, skin color, skin condition, amount of body fat, efficiency of the detector and efficiency of the source ( s ) .
- the present invention may provide for having the specific calibration coefficients and operational parameters be contained in a storage site located in the removable insert. This allows for the system to be both mechanically and operationally configured to a particular individual. Additionally the invention may allow for the calibration coefficients and operational parameters to be stored in two locations, one in the non-removable housing and one in the removable insert with some of the coefficients and parameters stored in each location. This allows for reader system coefficients to be stored in the reader and coefficients specific to an individual to be stored in the removable insert for that person, enabling many people to use the same reader.
- Another aspect of the present invention provides means for connecting the non-invasive measuring system to an invasive measuring system for the purpose of calibrating or adjusting the operational parameters of the non-invasive measuring system.
- Such connection may be accomplished, but is not limited to, communication by a wire, IR link or radio waves.
- Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for removing instrument drift from the measurement comprising the steps of:
- a correction factor can be calculated for the instrument temperature. This can be applied to each signal with a different correction coefficient.
- the invention further provides a method of measuring a biological parameter in a subject, the method comprising the steps of:

- Fig. 16 is a perspective view showing one form of the instrument using an ear lobe body interface, with the added feature of being able to manipulate the pressure on the ear lobe;
- Figs. 17, 18 and 19 are graphs illustrating an example.
- an important feature of the present invention lies in introducing light energy along an axis into an area of soft tissue and detecting the resulting acoustic response transverse to that axis. Accordingly, in the arrangement of Fig 1A light energy from a diode laser (not shown) is transmitted via a fibre-optic guide 10 to the tip of a finger 12. The photoacoustic interaction occurs in an approximately cylindrical region indicated at 14 from which acoustic energy is radiated in a generally cylindrical manner and is detected by a transversely arranged acoustic transducer 16.
- the principle is similar.
- the finger 12 is pressed against a support with force F.
- the incident light beam indicated at L is directed as in Fig 1A, and the transducer 16 is at an angle of 45 degrees thereto.
- the angle is 90 degrees as in Fig 1A, but the incident beam is directed differently into the fingertip.
- the laser wavelength is chosen to achieve high degree of absorption by glucose present in the blood.
- a suitable wavelength is in the range approximately 1000 to 3000 nm.
- the laser pulse duration is chosen to be short, typically of the order of 5 to 500 ns, in order to minimise thermal diffusion and thus to optimise the acoustic waveform.
- it is desirable to use a spot size which is sufficiently small to minimise thermal diffusion typically a spot size of the order of 0.05 mm to 0.50 mm.
- the efficiency of the photoacoustic detection is also influenced by the positioning and dimensions of the acoustic transducer in relation to the characteristic extinction length of the tissue at the principal wavelengths chosen for measurement.
- the system efficiency will be improved by optimising the length of the transducer crystal parallel to the axis of the finger, but the length should not be so great as to give rise to undesired signals which would occur at the point of entry of the optical energy into the finger and by reason of interaction of the acoustic energy with bone or other hard tissue.
- a second limit on the size of the acoustic detector derives from the wavelength of the acoustic wave in the tissue. Again making use of Huyghens principal of superposition we view each point of tissue, that is illuminated by the incoming light, as a point source that generates a spherical pressure wave. The signal measured at the detector is just the superposition of all pressure waves from all points that are illuminated by the source light. Normally if the size of the detector is increased then the signal should also increase because more energy is received by the detector. However if the acoustic detector is too large then a pressure wave generated from a tissue element will create a pressure wave that will strike the both ends of the detector.
- the path length from the tissue element to the first end of the detector is different than the path length to the second end of the detector and if this difference in path length is about one half of the acoustic signal wavelength then the signal will destructively interfere with itself and will reduce the magnitude of the measured signal.
- a sensor head having a finger rest 18 which is slidably moveable within housing 20 closed by a front plate 22.
- the user inserts his finger in a semi-cylindrical depression 24 in the finger rest 18 with the finger tip engaged against an end surface 28 which includes an exit face 26 of the optical fibre 10.
- the finger is then pressed downwardly against a resilient bias to enable a standardised contact to be obtained between the skin and the acoustic transducer.
- the finger tip may first be dipped in water or coated with an aqueous gel to improve the acoustic coupling.
- the acoustic transducer comprises a semi- cylindrical piezoelectric transducer 30.
- the transducer 30 is provided with a backing member 32 of lead or another dense substance, the rear face 34 of which is shaped in irregular curves.
- the use of the semi-cylindrical transducer 30 maximises the area for reception of acoustic energy from the finger, while the use of a dense backing material minimises ringing effects within the transducer.
- the rear face 34 is shaped as shown to reduce reflection of acoustic energy back towards the piezo crystal.
- Fig 3 also shows the finger rest biased upwardly by the use of constant tension springs 38.
- Fig 5 illustrates schematically the apparatus of Figs. 2 and 3 embodied in a self-contained, portable blood monitoring apparatus including a user readout 40.
- An apparatus of this nature allows a diabetic to monitor blood glucose concentration in a convenient manner, as frequently as may be desired, and in a painless and discreet manner.
- FIG. 6 shows an arrangement in which a light guide 50 and an acoustic transducer 52 are applied to a finger 54 by means of a hinged clamp member 56.
- Fig. 7 shows a finger 60 engaged by a light guide 62 and an acoustic transducer 64 which are carried on a moveable assembly 66 with the finger 60 being trapped between the moveable assembly 66 and a fixed anvil 68.
- Figs. 8a and 8b show an arrangement in which a cup shaped member 70, suitably of rubber, causes a light guide 72 and an acoustic transducer 74 to be contacted with a bulge of soft tissue 76 which may for example be drawn into contact by means of a partial vacuum within the member 70 caused by suction through a conduit 78, or by other mechanical or adhesive means.
- a planar mount 80 carrying a light guide 82 and acoustic transducer 84 is secured to a soft area of body by means of surgical adhesive 86.
- one method of performing measurement on an ear lobe involves placing the ear lobe between a fixed plate 87 and a movable plate 88.
- the acoustic detector 89 is mounted partially perpendicular that is at an acute angle, to the beam axis defined as line going from the center of a lens 90 to the center of a window 91. It has been found that the system works satisfactorily with the detector 89 at an angle or 45° to the beam axis.
- the window 91 and the detector 89 are placed in direct contact with the ear and the opposite plate 88 places pressure on the ear using a suitable mechanism (not shown) .
- This particular embodiment of the ear interface apparatus incorporates an alignment ring 92 which is temporarily attached to the ear and fits over the window housing 91 to aid in aligning ear into the same location every time.
- one method of combining light sources into the instrument is to use a mechanical housing 93 with several holes used to align lenses 95 and laser diodes 94.
- the housing shown uses a hexagonal array of seven holes.
- the sources and lenses are arranged in such a way that they all focus to the same location 96 which could be on the surface of the body part. This design does not show the inclusion of beamsplitters and reference detectors but they can be added in an alternative arrangement.
- FIG. 12 An alternative method of combining several sources into one beam is shown in Fig. 12.
- Several laser diodes 97 are shown coupled to individual fiber optic cables 131. These cables 132 are combined using a fiber Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) 98.
- WDM Wavelength Division Multiplexer
- the combined light exits the WDM 98 in a single fiber 104 and terminates at the focal point of a a. lens 131. This end of the fiber is imaged to the end of the finger 103 to a spot 102 using another lens 130.
- Some of the light is split off the main beam using a beam splitter 100 and focused onto a reference detector 101 using another lens 99. Additional reference detectors and/or beamsplitters can be added to the distribution system without changing its function. Alternatively a reference detector could look directly at the body part to measure the light reflecting off the surface, as a measure of the overall light energy entering the body part.
- FIG. 13 another method of using a finger as the body part and including removable inserts is shown.
- a finger 105 is inserted into an insert 106 that is used to customize the finger holder to a particular finger.
- the moulded insert 106 is placed into a housing 107.
- the finger 105 is placed against a semi-cylindrical acoustic detector in a modulel08 which is also attached to the housing 107.
- a cover 109 for the housing 107 contains a mechanism 111 to apply constant force to the finger 105.
- the light beam 110 is introduced into the finger 105 using a suitable optical distribution system (not shown) .
- Fig. 13A shows the module 108 in greater detail.
- a base 200 carries a part-cylindrical piezo transducer 202 on a support 204.
- 206 indicates a coaxial connector to communicate the transducer signal.
- Fig. 14 shows a schematic of an alternative to the vacuum arrangement shown in Figs. 8 and 9.
- a photoacoustic reader 121 is placed against the skin 113 with a semi-spherical detector 112 in contact with the skin 113.
- a vacuum pump 115 and vacuum seal 116 create a negative pressure and pull the skin 113 against the detector 112.
- Processing electronics 119 a. energizes light sources 118 and an optical distribution system 117 routes the light to the body part through a hole in the top of the semi-spherical detector 112.
- the optical distribution system 117 directs a small portion of the light to a reference detector 114.
- the processing electronics 119 measures the signal from the acoustic detector 112 and the reference detector 114 for each optical source 119 and calculates the glucose value.
- the value is displayed on a display 120.
- Fig. 15 shows a similar system 125, only using another type of optical distribution system 127.
- a vacuum pump 123 creates a negative pressure which draws the skin up to an acoustic detector 122.
- Processing electronics 124 signals light sources in optical distribution system 127 to illuminate and a signal is generated at acoustic detector 122.
- the processing electronics 124 calculates the proper value and displays it on a display 126.
- Fig. 16 shows an alternative arrangement of a photo- acoustic reader.
- the vacuum system is replaced with an ear squeeze mechanism 129 which applies pressure to the ear.
- An acoustic detector 130 detects the signals from the ear lobe.
- a single analyte such as glucose in blood can be measured by using light of selected wavelengths and by measuring the area or the amplitude of the received acoustic pulse. It is preferable to make each measurement by using a train of pulses, for example about 100 pulses, and averaging the results in order to minimise the effects of noise and pulse effects in the blood flow.
- the accuracy of the detection system is governed, in part, by the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the system.
- SNR Signal to Noise Ratio
- Variations in the intensity and duration of the light source can cause the acoustic signal to contain variations.
- a normalization technique such as taking the ratio of the acoustic signal to the optical signal, can significantly reduce the effect of the source variations, thereby improving the signal to noise ratio of the system.
- the optical signal can be measured with a reference detector, or several reference detectors, one for each source or one for a wavelength range. An equation describing this type of normalization follows:
- the relationship between the optical signal land the acoustic signal changes with wavelength and light intensity.
- the accuracy of the measurement can be further enhanced by determining the energy dependence of the photoacoustic signal. This may be determined by establishing the specific relationship between the photoacoustic signal land the incident energy from a set of measurements and using this relationship to compensate for the non linear response.
- An equation describing this type of normalization is as follows:
- the time interval between the optical pulse and the detection of the acoustic signal may be used to characterise physical properties such as the velocity of sound in the tissue.
- the damping of the acoustic oscillations may be used to monitor the elastic properties of the tissue and, in particular, the compressibility. Both of these aspects may be used in the person to person calibration of the photoacoustic response.
- a time-gating technique may be used to derive measurement at varying depths within the tissue being examined.
- an array of detectors can be employed to determine the profile of the absorption of the acoustic signal at different depths and locations. This depth profile will change with the absorption coefficient and could be used as additional information to determine the analyte concentration.
- multiple light sources can aid in the determination of the concentration of a number of analytes.
- tissue features which may vary from person to person or with in the same person over time which impact the photoacoustic signal observed.
- analyte such as glucose
- haemoglobin which may act as interferants .
- One approach is to generate several distinct photoacoustic signals using excitation light of several different wavelengths. For example, excitation light of a wavelength of which haemoglobin absorbs strongly but glucose has little if any absorption could be sued to obtain a measure of the haemoglobin concentration with which to normalize the effect of haemoglobin on measurements made on different persons or on the same person at different times.
- excitation light of a wavelength of which haemoglobin absorbs strongly but glucose has little if any absorption could be sued to obtain a measure of the haemoglobin concentration with which to normalize the effect of haemoglobin on measurements made on different persons or on the same person at different times.
- These measurements which are to be normalized might be based on the photoacoustic signal generated
- the concentration of such interferants by other means, such as infrared light absorption, and thus normalize or correct the photoacoustic signal representative of the desired analyte for variations in these interferants.
- the photoacoustic signal representative of glucose could be corrected for variations in haemoglobin concentration determined by optical absorption techniques such as those taught in US Patent No 5,702,284.
- a signal to noise ratio of at least 10,000 is recommended.
- water is typically present in human tissue of a concentration of about 50 molar while glucose is present at a concentration of about 5 millimolar in a normal individual.
- Apparatus and method embodying the present invention have been found to yield accurate and repeatable results.
- the clinical range of glucose concentration is approximately 5-10 m mol/1 in healthy subjects, and up to 40 m mol/1 in diabetics.
- An analysis based on simple absorption models suggests that the change in photoacoustic signal over this range might be as little as 0.2%.
- the present invention has been found to provide a change in photoacoustic signal of up to 140% for a change in glucose concentration of 15m mol/1.
- the resulting photoacoustic signal was detected by a 5mm disc transducer with a lead backing and fed to an amplifier and an oscilloscope.
- the transducer was generally placed as 16 in Figure 1 but was not precisely parallel to the beam axis; its detection plane was at an angle of about 20 degrees to the beam axis .
- the photoacoustic signal was evaluated in terms of the difference in voltage signal from the positive peak of the compression to the negative peak of the relaxation of the acoustic pulse. a.
