Release date: 2015-11-10 3D finger scanner for early diagnosis of arthritis Arthritis is difficult to cure, but the earlier the diagnosis, the better the drug treatment. The European Union project IACOBUS, led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Technology in Germany, developed a finger scanner to solve the early diagnosis of arthritis. Once people develop chronic arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis, the synovial tissue of the joints does not produce lubricants properly. Over time, it can damage the cartilage and joints, causing pain and joint stiffness. At present, it is still difficult to completely cure arthritis in medical treatment, but the symptoms of joint deformation can be found by X-ray examination. In addition, the vascular changes in the inflamed area can be examined by Doppler ultrasonography. The enlargement of blood vessels and thickening of the synovial membrane are typical of inflammation. phenomenon. But early changes in blood vessels are very small and can only be observed with magnetic resonance imaging, which is expensive and laborious. The newly invented 3D finger scanner can replace early diagnosis of arthritis with magnetic resonance imaging. The finger scanner uses photoacoustic imaging technology. As long as the patient uses a laser pulse to instantly illuminate the finger in the instrument, the finger tissue will slightly heat up and expand. The scanner will display the joint inflammation like the Doppler ultrasound. In order to make the inspection more elaborate, the researchers also developed a hyperspectral imaging system, which irradiates the fingers with strong white light, absorbs certain wavelengths of the inflamed tissue, and analyzes the wavelength of backscattering to confirm the development of arthritis. Experts believe that the early diagnosis of arthritis can be achieved through the combination of ultrasound images and hyperspectral imaging systems. Editor-in-chief Chinese medicine pays attention to "treatment without disease", first judges the trend of the disease, and then prioritizes "system conditioning" and is known as "going to the roots"; while Western medicine is best at "the right medicine", one of the most important contributions to human health is first aid. Immediately. The rapid development of modern life sciences and the early diagnosis with multidisciplinary results should be one of the future medical development trends. From this point of view, the difference between Chinese and Western medicine is the same, the change is the means, and the constant is the ultimate pursuit of "seeing the micro-knowledge".
