The meridians and acupoints of human bodies at natural condition are investigated among 30 healthy volunteers by infrared thermal imaging technique. The results give clear evidence of the existence of infrared radiant tracks along human meridian courses. The time dependent evolution of the infrared radiant track is observed for the first time. The time rhythm of acupoints is also studied. Our findings not only support the view that infrared radiant tracks along human meridian courses is a normal vital and physiological phenomenon appearing in human beings, but also offer a potential method for noninvasive diagnostic by studying the physiological function and pathological change of meridians or acupoints by means of thermography.
采用红外热成像技术，对30名健康志愿者自然状态下人体经络和穴位进行了研究。结果清楚地证明了人体经络沿线存在红外辐射轨迹。首次观察到红外辐射轨迹随时间的演变。还研究了穴位的时间节律。我们的研究结果不仅支持了人体经络沿线的红外辐射轨迹是人类正常生命和生理现象的观点，而且还通过热成像研究经络或穴位的生理功能和病理变化，为无创诊断提供了一种潜在方法。
