  • Patent number: 6024450
    Abstract: A pupil dilating dilution is dropped into one of the left eye or the right eye of a subject. Video cameras 1A, 1B are directed toward the bulbs of the eyes 22A, 22B, and output video signals on the pupils of both left and right eyes. These video signals are delivered to an area calculating circuit 7 through video camera control units 4A, 4B and an image receiving circuit 6. The area calculating circuit 7 calculates the areas of the given pupils of both left and right eyes, and applies the calculated results to a digital computer 8. The digital computer 8 calculates a difference between the given pupil areas of both the left and right eyes, calculates an index value relating to the magnification of the pupil area based on the calculated difference, and judges whether or not the subject is affected with Alzheimer's disease.

  • Patent number: 5349951
    Abstract: A device for measuring the inside information of a light-scattering specimen using a Line Spread Function (LSF) function of a light-scattering specimen and the intensity distribution of light which is transmitted through the light scattering specimen in repeating light scattering and output from the light scattering specimen. The device comprises: an optical system for illumination for irradiating a specimen to be measured (a light scattering specimen); an optical system for detection for detecting the transmitted light through the specimen; and a data processor for operating the detected transmitted light data. The above-mentioned data processor operates the inside information of a specimen to be measured based on the light intensity distribution of the transmitted light through the specimen and an LSF function which is newly defined, and displays the inside information as a tomograph image.
