Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Acupuncture points and meridians have been usually depicted as a two dimensional drawing and verbal description. Recently, imaging and three-dimensional image processing technologies have been introduced into medical fields such as anatomy and virtual operation, for the purpose of enhanced efficiency in research and education. This study attempted an image modelling of the meridian and acupoint in the upper limb region.
Methods: A vector image model of an arm was produced and medical information on the meridian and acupoint of the arm region was incorporated.
Results: A 3D modelling of the acupuncture meridian and acupoint in the upper limb region was produced along with a user console to control the presentation of related information and to facilitate visualization of the 3D model images.
Conclusions: A 3D modelling of the acupuncture meridian and acupoint will be an efficient platform for an education and research.
