Abstract
We present a method for the noninvasive measurement of blood glucose levels, which are
determined by the ultrasound-modulated optical technique. The method is based on the optical
scattering coefficient. A sensitivity analysis of the ultrasound-modulated light signals in a
scattering medium is conducted. Glucose concentrations in intralipid and hemoglobin solutions are
measured using the modulation depth of ultrasound-modulated scattered light. The effects of incident
light intensity and sample temperature on the ultrasound-modulated signals are also estimated.
Preliminary experimental results suggest that the proposed method is a promising technique for
noninvasive blood glucose measurement.
