Matlab在中医舌图处理分析中的应用

Application of Matlab in processing and analysis of digital traditional Chinese medicine tongue image

背景:运用信息处理技术对数字舌图进行规范与分析,是中医舌诊客观化研究的重要基础工作。目的:探讨使用Matlab提供的图像处理工具箱简化数字舌图处理分析的工作量,实现对中医舌像客观化信息提取的简便的规范的方法。方法:应用计算机检索2000-01/2010-06万方数据库相关文章,检索词为"舌诊客观化,matlab医学图像",并限定文章语言种类为中文。同时计算机检索2000-01/2010-06 PubMed数据库相关文章,检索词为"Digital Tongue Image processing,matlab medical images",并限定文章语言种类为English。共检索到文献59篇。结果与结论:中医诊断学认为疾病的本质是阴阳、气血、津液失去调和,具体体现为阴阳气血津液的寒热、虚实、燥湿等病理状态。舌的变化能够反映出体内的寒热、虚实、燥湿等病变,因此被视为人体脏腑健康与否的一面镜子。文章介绍了中医舌图的计算机相关处理技术,Matlab作为功能强大的仿真分析软件被广泛用于科学研究和解决各种具体问题,文章使用Matlab提供的工具箱对中医舌图进行处理是中医诊断学的创新发展,也为中医学领域内的图像分析提供了有利途径。

BACKGROUND：The use of digital information processing technology to regulate and analyze the tongue image is an important basis for research of traditional Chinese medicine tongue diagnosis.OBJECTIVE：To predigest the processing arithmetic of tongue image utilized Matlab Image Processing Toolbox and to acquire the external information of tongue.METHODS：A computer-based online search of Pubmed database（http：//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed） and Wanfang database（http：//www.wanfangdata.com.cn） between 2000 and 2010 was performed for related articles with the key words of ＂Digital Tongue Image processing,matlab medical images＂ in English and Chinese.A total of 59 literatures were primarily obtained.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION：In the diagnostic theory of traditional Chinese medicine,the essence of disease is disorder of Yinyang,Qixue and Jinye which produces all kinds of pathologic states such as coldness and heat,deficiency and excessiveness.Tongue is regarded as a mirror to reflect healthly state of boby since it brings information on colness and heat,deficiency and excessiveness,dryness and humidness and other pathologic changes.This paper introduces the computer-related digital traditional Chinese medicine Tongue Image processing technology,and Matlab as a powerful simulation analysis software is widely used in scientific research and solve specific problems.The use of the Matlab toolbox to the digital traditional Chinese medicine Tongue Image processing is the advance of diagnostic theory of traditional Chinese Medicine,and provides helpful way for medical image analysis of traditional Chinese medicine.
