Temperature Measurement Sites

1.8K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Computer Vision

Background:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) relies on ear acupoint observation for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Accurate identification of numerous, small ear acupoints is challenging with traditional methods.
  • Image processing offers potential to improve TCM ear acupoint diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated method for ear acupoint segmentation and identification.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of TCM ear acupoint diagnosis using image processing.
  • To create a system that can assist or potentially replace experienced practitioners in ear acupoint recognition.

Main Methods:

  • An active appearance model (AAM)-based approach was proposed for ear acupoint segmentation.
  • The method utilizes 91 feature points for precise segmentation of ear structures.
  • Computer image processing techniques were employed for ear acupoint partitioning and recognition.

Main Results:

  • The AAM method precisely segmented and recognized key ear acupoints including the helix, antihelix, and earlobe.
  • The system demonstrated the ability to highlight specific acupoints or areas.
  • Experimental results proved the method's effectiveness and accuracy in ear acupoint identification.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed AAM-based method enables accurate computer-assisted segmentation and recognition of ear acupoints.
  • This technology can significantly enhance the intelligent diagnosis capabilities in TCM.
  • The method holds promise for standardizing and improving the practice of ear acupoint therapy.
