Apparatus for inspecting allergic reaction
First Claim
1. An apparatus for inspecting an allergic reaction comprising a light-projecting means for projecting a laser light upon an object having a bloodstream;
- a light-receiving means for receiving a plurality of laser beams scattered by blood cells at the plurality of points on a surface of the object;
a memory means for storing output signals read out of the light receiving elements;
a calculating means for calculating from the output signals stored in the memory means to derive information about the bloodstream; and
a display means for displaying the information in a map state, wherein the calculating means comprises calculating relative values of the respective bloodstreams at measured portions to be tested the allergic reaction or subjected to a patch test based on an average value of the bloodstreams measured at portions other than the portion to be tested or subjected to the patch test and not affected by the patch test as a standard value, and the display means comprises plotting the relative values obtained by the calculating means.

Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus for inspecting an allergic reaction comprising
a light-projecting device for projecting a laser light upon an object having a bloodstream;
a light-receiving device for receiving laser beams scattered by blood cells;
a memory device for storing output signals;
a calculating device for calculating from the output signals stored in the memory device; and
a display device for displaying the information in a map state,
wherein the calculating means comprises calculating relative values of the respective bloodstreams at measured portions to be tested the allergic reaction or subjected to a patch test based on an average value of the bloodstreams measured at portions other than the portion to be tested or subjected to the patch test and not affected by the patch test as a standard value, and
the display device comprises plotting the relative values obtained in the calculating device,
and a method of inspecting an allergic reaction of a skin after subjected to a patch test for checking an allergen(s).

11. A method of inspecting an allergic reaction of a skin after subjected to a patch test for checking an allergen(s), which comprises the steps of:
-
projecting a laser light upon an object having a bloodstream subjected to the patch test by a light-projecting means;
receiving a plurality of laser beams scattered by blood cells at the plurality of points on a surface of the object subjected to the patch test by a light-receiving means;
storing output signals read out of the light receiving elements by a memory means;
calculating from the output signals stored in the memory means to derive information about the bloodstream by a calculating means; and
displaying the information in a map state by a display means;
wherein relative values of the respective bloodstreams at measured portions to be tested the allergic reaction or subjected to a patch test are calculated by the calculating means based on an average value of the bloodstreams measured at portions of the skin other than the portion subjected to the patch test and not affected by the patch test as a standard value, and the relative values obtained by the calculating means are plotted by the display means as a two- or three-dimensional map. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
