  • Abstract
    Blood tests and ultrasound scanning are the standard techniques for the diagnosis of liver problems. However, there is no easy assessment of how liver problems affect other parts of the body, such as the spleen, stomach, lung, and gallbladder. Traditional Chinese medicine makes use of pulse analysis to diagnose such conditions. Here, the authors study the pulse spectrum of patients with liver problems, with the goal of using this technique to analyze related conditions
