A Study of Diagnosis by Looking the Face by the Thermography

Objectives : This study is performed to evaluate the clinical effect of diagnosis by looking the face, using the thermography. Methods : Among the patients who visited to Department of Oriental Medicine Functional Examination, Hospital of Jaseng Oriental Medicine from 23, September 2000 to 27, October 2000, we selected 50 persons who took the thermography of whole body. The temperature was measured in each segmental area of the face and the anterior trunk. I calculated the coefficient of correlation between the temperatures of the facial segments and the anterior trunk segments. Results and Conclusions : Statistically, I could recognize that only a few cases had correlation between the temperatures of the facial segments and the anterior trunk segments. It is difficult to say that there is correlation between the temperatures of the facial segments and the anterior trunk segments.
