Abstract
A system, an apparatus and a method for human health evaluation utilizing the TMT mapping technology is disclosed. The method comprises scanning body areas of a patient utilizing an infrared camera, detecting abnormalities in the body of the patient, analyzing abnormalities of the patient against information stored in a database, and reporting results to the patient in a pre-determined format. The method provides an earlier discovery of disease by mapping and analyzing abnormal temperatures changes in the body, which can help prevent the disease from progressing at an early stage.
Claims25
A health evaluation system comprising:
- a thermal imaging device to capture a thermal image of a human anatomy;
- a medical analysis rules library database for storing a set of rules to perform a thermal mapping and automatic zoning analysis;
- and
- a processor coupled to the thermal imaging device and configured to apply the thermal mapping and automatic zoning analysis to the thermal image to create thermal zones and calculate a temperature distribution for each thermal zone;
- the processor further configured to automatically evaluate and determine a health condition of the human anatomy based on a comparison between the temperature distribution for each thermal zone and at least one of a particular temperature range, a distribution, and a corresponding symmetry to said each thermal zone.
A computer program product including a computer readable medium having instructions for causing a computer to:
- receive a thermal image of a human anatomy;
- apply a thermal mapping and automatic zoning analysis to the thermal image to create thermal zones;
- calculate a temperature distribution for each thermal zone;
- and
- automatically evaluate and determine a health condition of the human anatomy based on a comparison between the temperature distribution for each thermal zone and at least one of a particular temperature range, a distribution, and a corresponding symmetry from a medical analysis rules library database to said each thermal zone.
An apparatus comprising:
