Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Tongue diagnosis is one of the diagnostic methods of Japanese traditional herbal medicine, Kampo medicine. The tongue color shows different changes for each part of the tongue reflecting the health condition. However, it is difficult to designate the same analysis region among datasets. Therefore, in this study, we perform the tongue shape normalization by deforming and registering the tongue image to a standard tongue shape, and a correlation map between the blood stagnation score in Oriental (Kampo) medicine or the CAVI examination value and each lingual color was prepared. As a result, some items supported the findings of tongue diagnosis and the results of previous studies.
