Computer-aided diagnosis provides a medical procedure that assists physicians in interpretation of medical images. This work focuses on computer-aided tongue image analysis specifically, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Tongue diagnosis is an important component of TCM. Computerized tongue diagnosis can aid medical practitioners in capturing quantitative features to improve reliability and consistency of diagnosis. Recently, researchers have started to develop computer-aided tongue analysis algorithms based on new advancement in digital photogrammetry, image analysis, and pattern recognition technologies. In this chapter, we will describe our recent work on tongue image analysis as well as a mobile app that we developed based on this technology.
计算机辅助诊断提供了一种辅助医生解读医学图像的医疗程序。这项工作特别专注于基于传统中医(TCM)的计算机辅助舌象图像分析。舌诊是中医的一个重要组成部分。计算机化舌诊可以帮助医生获取定量特征,以提高诊断的可靠性和一致性。最近,研究人员已开始基于数字摄影测量、图像分析和模式识别技术的新进展来开发计算机辅助舌象分析算法。在本章中,我们将描述我们在舌象图像分析方面的最新工作,以及我们基于该技术开发的一款移动应用程序。
