Abstract
A method for determining the presence of fats in the body fluid by photographing a body fluid droplet and calculating the change of the contact area of the body fluid droplet and the contact area diffusion factor. In addition, fats may be easily detected by using a simple filming equipment where it is required to detect fats such as liposuctions, various orthopedic operations, obesity managements, etc.
Claims3
A method for measuring fat contents in a liquid based on a contact area diffusion factor, comprising:
- placing liquid on a water-repellant surface as a droplet;
- obtaining a magnified image from an image of said droplet;
- obtaining a contact diameter (d0) from said magnified image;
- and
- obtaining a contact diameter, d(t), after the lapse of predetermined time (t) from said magnified image, wherein said fat is determined to be present in said body fluid according to whether the value of d(t)−d0 is positive or negative.
