The objective of this study was to determine the intrarater and interrater reliabilities of infrared image analysis of forearm acupoints before and after moxibustion. In this work, infrared images of acupoints in the forearm of 20 volunteers (M/F, 10/10) were collected prior to and after moxibustion by infrared thermography (IRT). Two trained raters performed the analysis of infrared images in two different periods at a one-week interval. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to determine the intrarater and interrater reliabilities. With regard to the intrarater reliability, ICC values were between 0.758 and 0.994 (substantial to excellent). For the interrater reliability, ICC values ranged from 0.707 to 0.964 (moderate to excellent). Given that the intrarater and interrater reliability levels show excellent concordance, IRT could be a reliable tool to monitor the temperature change of forearm acupoints induced by moxibustion.
本研究的目的是确定艾灸前后前臂穴位红外图像分析的观察者内和观察者间可靠性。在这项工作中，通过红外热成像（IRT）在艾灸前后收集了20名志愿者（男/女，各10名）前臂穴位的红外图像。两名经过培训的评估者在两个不同时期、间隔一周对红外图像进行分析。计算组内相关系数（ICC）以确定观察者内和观察者间可靠性。关于观察者内可靠性，ICC值在0.758至0.994之间（从中度到优秀）。对于观察者间可靠性，ICC值范围为0.707至0.964（从中度到优秀）。鉴于观察者内和观察者间可靠性水平显示出极好的一致性，IRT可能是监测艾灸引起的前臂穴位温度变化的可靠工具。
