Abstract :
To see whether there exists a difference of the infrared radiation of acupoints between the healthy volunteer subjects and the patients. In 47 healthy volunteer subjects and 51 patients suffering from coronary heart disease, the infrared radiation of five acupoints was detected and a statistic comparison between the two groups was made. There exists an obvious statistic difference of the infrared radiation between the healthy volunteer subjects and the patients. The physiological information in human bodies could be reflected from the infrared radiation of acupoints and also a possible method was provided to dignose with the infrared radiation spectrum without touching the patients.
