Quantitative characterization of nasolabial sulcus using polarization parametric indirect macroscopic imaging
Abnormal changes of the nasolabial sulcus characteristics are important symptoms of stroke, usually as the basis for the stroke facial diagnosis by traditional Chinese medicine with naked-eye observation. In order to quantify the characteristics of nasolabial sulcus and to solve the problem that it is difficult to find fine feature changes and difficult to communicate information in traditional Chinese medicine facial diagnosis, the polarization parametric indirect macroscopic imaging(PIMI) method was adopted by using the Stokes S1 parametric image. The nasolabial sulcus characteristics of healthy people, stroke patients, and prognostic people were obtained. The results show that the nasolabial sulcus S1 data of healthy people has good symmetry, while it is obviously asymmetrical for the stroke patients, and the difference between the left and right peaks is more than 20. It becomes more symmetrical when the stroke patient gets better. This method is expected to be applied to the digital diagnosis of stroke diseases and the evaluation of the treatment process, promoting the development of digital Chinese medicine.
