Abstract(in English) Clinical medicine is mandatory for students who are learning acupuncture or physical therapy, but this entails numerous pictures and photos for image diagnosis.Tactile charts were made to help totally blind students to understand about image diagnosis.Medical images made by X-rays, ultrasound, MRI and radioisotopes are formed on gray scale X-ray films.We simplified these original images according to the respective method of image diagnosis and designed them into tactile charts to help totally blind students better in understand clinical medicine.Some of these tactile charts have been evaluated.
