Abstract

A method of measuring physiological function of a group of body cells, includes the step of selecting a detectable agent capable of emitting a measurable electromagnetic emission. The agent is introduced into body fluid which contacts the group of body cells. The emission is measured, and physiological function is determined based on measurement of the emission.
