1. A method for use in non-invasive measurements in a patient'"'"'s body, the method comprising:

  • (a) creating a condition of artificial blood kinetics at a measurement location in a patient'"'"'s blood perfused fleshy medium and maintaining this condition for a certain time period;

    (b) applying an external electromagnetic field to the measurement location while under said condition of artificial blood kinetics;

    (c) detecting a time response of the medium from at least a portion of the measurement location to said external electromagnetic field, and generating measured data indicative of time evolutions of the response of the medium over at least a part of said certain time period;

    the response to said external electromagnetic field including at least one of the following;

    an acoustic response to illuminating incident light having a wavelength in a range where the scattering properties of blood are sensitive to light, and an impedance of the portion of the medium.
