TTM (medical infrared thermal imager) is the fifth largest medical imaging technology invention after ultrasound, X-ray, CT and nuclear magnetic resonance. It is the fruit of cooperation between Chinese and American medical scientists after 20 years of painstaking research and development, and has been highly valued by the world medical community. In 2000, he obtained a patent for invention in the United States.
According to the imaging principle, the depth, intensity and shape of heat source are calculated by thermal tomography imaging, and the relative intensity distribution map of cell metabolism corresponding to each part of human body is formed by computer processing. According to its corresponding law with health status, the human condition is comprehensively evaluated, including qualitative and quantitative evaluation of health status, sub-health status and disease status. On this basis, the best intervention suggestions are given. The principle of thermal tomography imaging is that metabolic heat generated by human tissues and cells can be transferred to the body surface through human tissues. In the process of heat transfer from the body to the body surface, the heat gradually decreases, forming a heat distribution on the body surface, and the heat radiation information on the body surface can be received by the heat receiver.
Thermal tomography images show the distribution of metabolic heat in human tissues, that is, for thermal tomography in vivo, each layer of thermal tomography is equivalent to 1mm (coronal plane) from skin to human body. When the depth reaches the depth of the heat source in the body, the shape of the heat source will increase obviously.
Thermal tomography imaging is a chromatographic analysis of the metabolic heat distribution of cells in human body, rather than the chromatographic analysis of human tissues (different from CT and MRI).
Thermal tomography imaging principle is more accurate in judging the depth of uniform human tissues, such as abdomen, back and chest. It is the only brand-new medical discipline in the world that can observe the activities of cell groups in vivo and the relationship between cell groups in a non-invasive, non-radioactive, green and in-situ way. Thermal tomography imaging (TTM) technology, as the most effective tool of cell metabolic heat medicine, is a functional medical imaging technology that can observe cell metabolic heat in real time and in situ, and can be used to detect the metabolic heat changes of human cell groups. At the same time, the changes of metabolic heat between this cell group and other tissues and organs can be detected. The appearance of thermal tomography imaging (TTM) technology makes up for the lack of technical means in observing cell activity in the current medical field, and opens up a new medical field to examine, diagnose and treat diseases from the perspective of cell metabolic heat. Studying the relationship between cell metabolic heat and human health will obviously improve the efficiency of human medical system.
