This study introduces a computer-aided tongue diagnosis system (CATDS) to overcome traditional methods. The novel CATDS accurately identifies diseases from tongue images using Bayesian networks, achieving over 75% accuracy in under 5 seconds.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Diagnostic Systems

Background:

  • Traditional tongue diagnosis is subjective and qualitative.
  • A need exists for objective and quantitative diagnostic tools.
  • Computer-aided diagnosis offers a potential solution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel computer-aided tongue diagnosis system (CATDS).
  • To establish relationships between quantitative tongue features and diseases using Bayesian networks.
  • To improve the objectivity and accuracy of tongue diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a standard acquisition device and a new color correction method for tongue image capture.
  • Developed a system with five components: User Interface, Acquisition, Database, Image Preprocessing, and Diagnosis Engine.

  • Employed Bayesian networks to link quantitative features with disease identification.

    • Main Results:

    • Tested on 544 patients with 9 common diseases and 56 healthy volunteers.
    • Achieved accuracy higher than 75% in identifying six groups: healthy, pulmonary heart disease, appendicitis, gastritis, pancreatitis, and bronchitis.
    • Completed the entire diagnosis process, including image preprocessing, in less than 5 seconds.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed CATDS effectively overcomes limitations of traditional tongue diagnosis.
    • The system demonstrates high accuracy and efficiency in disease identification.
    • Bayesian networks provide a robust framework for quantitative tongue-based diagnostics.
