A thermal imager, also known as a thermal imager or an infrared thermal imager, is a device that sensitizes infrared rays emitted from an object. At present, infrared thermal imaging cameras are widely used in surface observation, meteorological observation, military, fire, medical, industrial production, customs inspection and other fields. Especially in the medical field, because people are normal temperature animals, they naturally emit heat radiation. Therefore, the infrared temperature imager is used to observe the body surface temperature distribution. If a certain part of the body has a lesion, the temperature of the corresponding or related part changes. The change will be transmitted to the body surface, revealing a temperature that is different from the surrounding or bilaterally symmetric position. Therefore, according to the heat map taken by the infrared camera, professional medical personnel can interpret and observe the change of the position and temperature distribution of these changes to determine the abnormal existence and disease occurrence.

The integrated infrared thermal image and the meridian line and acupoint map made by the above system can be used as a diagnosis of cold, heat, stagnation, pain, or inflammation of the meridian and acupoint-related organs, or breast tissue. The diagnosis of the lesion, or the efficacy of the disease before and after treatment, can be used as a reference for the treatment, that is, the temperature around the acupoint presented by the meridian line and acupoint map in the integrated map and supplemented by the infrared thermogram. Change, in order to judge the symptoms of cold, heat, stagnation or stagnation of the relevant organs in the individual.

The following are the relevant application cases for this creation:

Application Case 1: If the combined infrared thermogram of the right foot in Figure 1 and the meridian line and the acupoint map are integrated on the map of the foot and the Yin and the two points of the Yin Bao, the temperature is Significantly higher than four weeks, expressed as liver heat syndrome; in other words, if the temperature of the above two points is significantly lower than four weeks, it means that the liver is suffering from cold syndrome, which can be used as a reference for syndrome differentiation treatment.

Application Case 2: If there is a nearby sore on the joint of the foot and the yin and liver on the integrated map of the right foot and the meridian line and the acupoint map in Figure 1, the integrated map will be examined. It was found that the temperature of the sore was higher than that of the surrounding area, and the patient had a symptom of pain and inflammation at the point of the hole, and the diagnosis was a sore with liver heat syndrome, and the Chinese medicine treatment should be diarrhea. If the temperature of the sore is lower than the surrounding area, it means that the sputum of the liver is suffering from debilitating cold, and the Chinese medicine should be cured, and it should not be diarrhea.

Application Case 3: As shown in Figure 1, the combination of the infrared thermal image and the meridian line and the acupoint map (130) on the liver section of the Datun acupoint, if the acupoint and its surrounding parts on the thermal image The color is reddish (that is, the temperature is relatively high), indicating that the liver has a heat syndrome in the relevant organs (liver), which indicates that the liver has inflammation. If it is treated, compare it with the relevant integrated map before and after. The color of the Datun acupoint tends to be the same as the color on the thermal image of the surrounding part (ie, the temperature range is similar), indicating that the treatment is effective and can be used as a treatment. Interpretation of the efficacy before and after treatment.

Application Case 4: The integrated infrared heat image of Figure 1 and the integration map of the meridian circulation point and the acupoint diagram (130), if the color on the thermal image of the knee part is particularly red, the temperature of the part is particularly high. It represents that the subject has pain symptoms in the knee.
