Acupoint positioning method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses an acupoint positioning method and system. An acupoint can be accurately positioned by the aid of modern optical technology. The system comprises a calculating device, an imaging device, a detecting device, a position indicating device and a moving platform, wherein the calculating device is used for processing data fed back by the imaging device and the detecting device and transmitting instructions to the detecting device, the position indicating device and the moving platform according to processing results, the imaging device is used for shooting an image of the acupoint of a human body and transmitting the data corresponding to the data to the calculating device, the detecting device is used for detecting infrared radiation signals transmitted by the acupoint of the human body and transmitting the data corresponding to the signals to the calculating device, the position indicating device is used for indicating the accurate position of the acupoint according to the instructions transmitted by the calculating device, and the moving platform is used for moving the imaging device, the detecting device and the position indicating device to a designated position according to the instructions transmitted by the calculating device. The acupoint positioning system can be used for accurately positioning the acupoint, and has high operability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to an acupuncture point positioning method and system. Background technique [0002] Acupuncture and moxibustion is the treasure of TCM treatment methods. The so-called acupuncture includes the use of sharp instruments such as needles to pierce acupoints and the use of burning moxa sticks and other objects that release a certain temperature to moxibuste acupoints. Because acupoints are considered as the stimulation points and reaction points for acupuncture to treat diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture at other parts of the body usually cannot achieve the expected curative effect. Therefore, one of the more important links in the implementation of acupuncture is how to accurately locate the acupoints. [0003] At present, the positioning of acupoints in the process of acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly determined by the definition o...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Apparently, the above-mentioned existing methods for artificially locating acupoints need to have basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine at first. Some basic knowledge of Chinese medicine such as "flexor carpi radialis tendon" has been known. However, it is difficult to require ordinary people to have these basic knowledge of Chinese medicine. For ordinary people without basic knowledge, they can only roughly estimate the position based on the map. This method of estimation obviously exists. Locate the problem accurately

On the other hand, the above-mentioned existing methods for manually locating acupoints also depend on the grasp of the length, and in actual operation, even Chinese medicine practitioners mostly judge the position based on experience, and rarely use a ruler or a soft ruler, etc. Determine the position after tool measurement

In other words, the existing methods of manually locating acupoints are either inaccurate or inoperable
