In an optical measurement system and imaging method adapted to measure in
vivo information in a living body without harming the living body, light
rays of a plurality of wavelengths which are modulated in intensity with
a plurality of different frequencies are irradiated on a plurality of
irradiation positions on the surface of a living body, and time-variable
changes in living body transmitting light intensity levels corresponding
to the respective wavelengths and the respective irradiation positions
are measured at different positions on the surface of the living body.
Light is utilized to image the results of the measurements, in which the
measuring time is shortened by estimating fluctuation attributable to the
living body, and the presence or absence of a change in measured signal
can be decided easily by displaying an estimation signal and a measured
signal at a time.
