The Image Representation of Auricular Points Resistance Mapping

The resistances of auricular points provide a diagnosis method to organ diseases clinically. In order to represent the resistances of auricular points and their distribution intuitionally, and help doctors´ diagnose in clinical application, this study used pseudo-color image to represent the resistance topographical mapping of auricular points. Firstly, transfer the resistances of auricular points on the auricle to the color value (or grayscale) according to the pseudo-color (or grayscale) mapping functions. Then, calculate each pixel´s RGB value in the image according to the triangle patch interpolation algorithm. The resistance topographical mapping was used to represent the resistances of auricular points. Also, it realized to highlight a specific neural subarea or anatomic subarea. This study supplied the quantitative detection and visual evidence for the clinical detection and diagnosis.
