Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method/system of monitoring in real time changes in concentration of glucose in tissues. Laser-induced profiles of absorbed optical energy distribution in tissues are determined via measurements of spatial (in-depth) profile of optically-induced acoustic (pressure) transients using a wide-band optoacoustic transducer. Such technique can be applied for monitoring of glucose concentration in various human or nonhuman tissues, cell cultures, solutions or emulsions.
