Abstract: An optical sensor (12) for use in spectrophotometric patient-examination apparatus, having a body (26) of softly deformable material so as to be conformable to the patient, with an internally mounted electro-optical source (36) and receivers (32 and 34) for obtaining patient data by transmission of selected wavelengths through a tissue volume adjacent the sensor (12), including substantially non-deforming light transfer members (60) disposed in alignment with the source and detector and between them and the patient to provide substantially constant and unchanging light transfer passages or conduits therebetween. In the most preferred form, the light transfer members comprise generally tubular elements having light reflective inner walls, and the sensor body (26) comprises either a layered structure of opaque, soft polymeric foam or the like (cellular urethane) or a substantially one-piece molded or other such structure of generally analogous characteristics.

Abstract translation: 一种用于分光光度患者检查装置的光学传感器（12），其具有可柔性变形材料的本体（26）以便与患者一致，具有内部安装的电光源（36）和接收器（32和 34），用于通过与所述传感器（12）相邻的组织体积传输所选择的波长来获得患者数据，所述组织体积包括基本上不变形的光传输构件（60），其布置成与所述源和检测器对准，并且在它们与患者之间提供基本上 恒定且不变的光传输通道或其间的导管。 在最优选的形式中，光传输构件包括具有光反射内壁的大体上管状的元件，并且传感器主体（26）包括不透明，软质聚合物泡沫等的层状结构（多孔聚氨酯） 片模或其他类似特征的结构。
