-===Non-invasive measurements of jaundice===
+There are no other diagnostic studies assoicated with neonatal jaundice.
-'''Ingram icterometer''': In this method a piece of transparent plastic known as '''Ingram icterometer''' is used. Ingram icterometer is painted in five transverse strips of graded yellow lines. The instrument is pressed against the nose and the yellow colour of the blanched skin is matched with the graded yellow lines and biluribin level is assigned.
-'''Transcutaneous bilirubinometer''': This is hand held, portable and rechargeable but expensive and sophisticated. When pressure is applied to the photoprobe, a xenon tube generates a strobe light, and this light passes through the subcutaneous tissue. The reflected light returns through the second fiber optic bundle to the spectrophotometric module. The intensity of the yellow color in this light, after correcting for the hemoglobin, is measured and instantly displayed in arbitrary units.
