TTM is the fifth largest medical imaging technology invention after ultrasound, X-ray, CT and nuclear magnetic resonance. Is a Chinese and American medical scientist headed by Academician Zhongqi Liu. After 20 years of painstaking research and development, TTM has been highly valued by the world medical community. In 2000, he obtained a patent for invention in the United States. Metabolic heat generated by human tissue cells can be transferred to the body surface through human tissue. In the process of heat transfer from the body to the body surface, the heat gradually decreases, forming a heat distribution on the body surface, and the heat radiation information on the body surface can be received by the heat receiver.
Thermal tomography images show the distribution of metabolic heat in human tissues, that is, for thermal tomography in vivo, each layer of thermal tomography is equivalent to
The depth from skin to human body is 1mm (coronal plane). When the depth reaches the depth of the heat source in the body, the shape of the heat source will increase obviously.
Thermal tomography imaging is a chromatographic analysis of the metabolic heat distribution of cells in human body, rather than the chromatographic analysis of human tissues (different from CT and MRI).
Thermal tomography imaging principle is more accurate in judging the depth of uniform human tissues, such as abdomen, back and chest. From 65438 to 0997, TTM began clinical experiments;

20 10 February, the Medical and Health Science and Technology Development Research Center of the Ministry of Health organized hundreds of hospitals in China to carry out "Clinical Application Research of Thermal Tomography (TTM)" for two consecutive years. It mainly consists of three parts: scanning frame, scanning bed and console.
Scanning bed: the turntable at the lower part of the scanning bed can rotate back and forth 360 degrees, and the rotating handrail can rise and fall and rotate with the turntable at the lower part.
Scanning frame: the scanning head is installed on the scanning frame through the pan/tilt, and the scanning head can rotate and pitch up and down, left and right through the console.
Console: Control the collection of images and the start and stop of scanning through the console. 1, high sensitivity-accurate qualitative analysis
TTM system, as a functional imaging technology, takes cells as the basic detection unit and is highly sensitive to the early functional changes or abnormalities of cells. It performs depth tomography in millimeters to accurately determine the depth of heat source, which is very accurate in the qualitative analysis of major diseases such as tumors.
2, specificity-high diagnostic accuracy
TTM system comprehensively evaluates the whole body thermal radiation data, and judges the health status through multiple groups of data, which avoids the limitation of sticking to a certain tissue and organ, and has high diagnostic accuracy for tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the diagnostic accuracy for breast cancer can reach 99.5%.
3, fast and comprehensive-3 minutes full-body scan 15 minutes comprehensive evaluation
It takes only 3-5 minutes for TTM system to scan the whole body, and it takes 15 minutes to complete the comprehensive assessment of the whole body health, so as to realize multiple detection functions such as multi-point, area and fault.
4. Early detection-early prediction, early diagnosis and early treatment.
TTM system can detect intracellular lesions, and diagnose the disease clearly in the latent period of the disease, which is several years or even more than ten years ahead of the traditional examination method, which is beneficial to the early treatment of the disease in the controllable stage.
5, green detection-no intervention, no damage
The detection process of TTM system only receives the thermal information radiated by human cells, and there is no environmental pollution, radiation and trauma. The physical examination process is safe and repeatable, and there is no possibility of disease induced by testing.
6. Dynamic detection-in-situ real-time monitoring
In the process of TTM system detection, human cells maintain a natural metabolic state, TTM receives the most real and effective information of human body, and can clearly record and present the thermal radiation of human body at all times.
7. High efficiency-large information database capacity
The 5 100 thermal tomography images scanned by TTM system can be processed into 10 TTM images. The data volume of each image is only 400~500K, the network transmission speed is only 5 seconds, and the average number of patients per day can reach more than 100.
8. Low cost-low energy consumption
TTM system has no pollution, no interference and no special requirements for the environment. The energy consumption of the whole set of equipment is ≤ 800 W. First of all, TTM system can be used for the diagnosis of all systems in the whole body.
TTM system diagnosis shows high sensitivity and specificity. It can not only detect organic diseases, but also diagnose endocrine disorders and dysfunction of non-organic diseases.
TTM system has diagnosed more than 500,000 cases and more than 500 diseases.
Clinical application statistics show that:
The diagnostic coincidence rate of TTM system for early malignant tumor is over 85%.
Accurate diagnosis and early prediction of early myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, embolism, etc., the accuracy rate can reach more than 85%.
The diagnostic accuracy of thyroid, breast, prostate and gynecological diseases can reach more than 90%.
TTM system, x-ray, CT, MRI, PET, high-efficiency multi-angle joint diagnosis.
TTM system can be overlapped with X-ray, CT, MRI, PET and other images for comparative analysis, so as to realize functional imaging intervention based on histomorphology. The combination of TTM system and TTM system is more accurate in the localization and characterization of lesions, which meets the requirements of higher level clinical diagnosis.
Secondly, TTM system is applied to efficacy test.
