Method for determining an examination point for the diaphanoscopic examination of a being and device for realizing the same

An apparatus for locating an examination site for conducting a diaphanoscopic examination of a living subject, comprising the steps of:

• a radiation unit for successively transilluminating a region of an examination subject with radiation in a wavelength range of an optical tissue window of said region;
• a radiation detector disposed for detecting a plurality of scattered light distributions, each represented as location-dependent spread functions, respectively for said transilluminations of said region;
• a computer supplied with said spread functions which, for each of said spread functions, identifies at least one function-specific, location-dependent feature, thereby obtaining a plurality of determined features, and which from said plurality of determined features, identifies a position value for an examination site within said region for subsequently conducting a diaphanoscopic examination.
