Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a diseased part color difficult to observe by the naked eye visible by anybody by mounting a light source part for irradiating a living body with light having a narrow-band wavelength and an image processing part for sharply processing the image taken by a camera part. CONSTITUTION:A light source part 1 is a red color light source emitting light centering around a wavelength of 680nm and a narrow-band cutting filter 2 for cutting a narrow-band wavelength of 680nm or less is provided to the light source part 1 and the red color light source of the light source part 1 certainly emits light having a narrow-band wavelength based on a wavelength of 680nm by said filter. This light is applied to the skin of a rising or lying living body 3 and the diseased color appearing on the skin of the living body 3 is photographed by a camera part 5. The light reflecting by the living body 5 is projected as an image of a wavelength centering around 680nm to be sent to an image processing part 7. This image processing part 7 processes said image so as to be capable of sharply discriminate between the normal skin and the diseased color skin to project the image on a monitor part 8 and a printer part 9.

(Prior Art) It is generally known that when a person catches a cold, the color of the face changes, and when the person becomes yellow, the color of the face and body also turn yellow. For this reason, in recent years, researchers have focused on the fact that whenever there is a disease, the disease color always appears, and that the disease color also changes as the disease changes, and research has been conducted on visual inspection of the disease color. As a result, it has been identified from many clinical cases that the site where the disease color appears reflects the location of the disease (functional and organic weakness).

The light source section 1 is a red light source that emits light centered on a wavelength of 680 mm. This light source section 1 is provided with a low-pass cut filter 2 for canting low-pass wavelengths of 680 nanometers or less. This low-pass cut filter 2 ensures that the red light source of the light source section 1 is irradiated as light with a narrow low-pass wavelength based on a wavelength of 680 nanometers.

Light from this light source section 1 is irradiated onto the skin of the living body 3 that is standing or lying down. A camera section 5 is placed on the front side of the living body 3, that is, on the boundary surface between the incident light and the reflected light of the light source section l.

In the disease color diagnostic apparatus 10 having the above configuration, a 680 nanometer red light source was selected as the light source of the light source part 1 based on the Lab color system brownish according to Table 1. In other words, a white lamp was used as the standard light. When using the Lab color system brown system difference, the change ratio between normal skin and diseased skin is different as L = 1.4, a = 1.3, b = 1.2, but the reference value of 680 nanometers In light, L=2
.. 1, a = 1.3, and b = 2.1, which makes it possible to tolerate subtle disease color changes. Furthermore, in the Munsell color chart system, as shown in FIG. 2, the hue becomes purple-ish approximately halfway between the front thread and red, indicating that the lightness and saturation are lower. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the spectral reflectance of visible light decreases, but a characteristic change can be seen in the wavelength range of 500 to 600 nanometers. We decided to use a red light source with a wavelength of 680 nanometers. Regarding the irradiation angle, the 45-0 method shown in FIG. 4 was used because the disease color was difficult to see with the D-0 method, which is on average consistent with general visual evaluation. That is, by irradiating the object 11 to be measured with the light source 12 from a 45-degree direction and receiving the light with the receiver 13 from the direction of the boundary surface formed by the irradiated light, the object 11 can be measured even if the surface is smooth and glossy.
This method takes advantage of the fact that, of the light incident from the 45-degree direction, specularly reflected light, which is the light source color, escapes in the diagonal direction, and only the light that enters the -degree colored layer is colored and returns to the vertical direction.

The principle is as described above, but in reality, the surface of a living body is not uniform, so the adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position and intensity of the light source and the low-pass cant filter may also be attached or detached depending on the surrounding light environment. It is possible to configure. With this configuration, the examiner can observe the appearance of disease colors projected on the monitor, compare and examine past data recorded on the printer, and make an accurate diagnosis. .
