Medical TTM that is thermal tomography imaging system technology is the rapid development of a medical imaging technology in the last decade, by the BayMed International R & D production, he is different from the previous tissue morphology imaging, opened up a new field of medical imaging technology based on the functionality of the main field of medical imaging technology. Because thermal scanning imaging technology is harmless to the human body, in addition to being used to diagnose various human diseases, it also plays an important role in the comprehensive evaluation of human health, the observation of the efficacy of medicines and other therapeutic methods, and the verification and development of Chinese medical theories in particular.
TTM is the fifth largest medical imaging technology invention after ultrasound, X-ray, CT, and MRI. It is the result of 20 years of painstaking research and development by Chinese and American medical scientists headed by Academician Liu Zhongqi, and has been highly valued by the world's medical community. The invention was patented in the United States in 2000. The metabolic heat generated by human tissue cells can be transferred to the body surface through human tissues, and in the process of heat transfer from the body to the body surface, the heat gradually decreases and forms a heat distribution on the body surface, and the heat radiation information on the body surface can be received by the heat receiver.
The thermal tomography image shows the distribution of metabolic heat in the body tissues, i.e., the tomography of the heat pattern in the body, each layer of the thermal tomography is equivalent to
1mm deeper from the skin into the body (coronal plane), and when the depth arrives at the depth of the heat source in the body, the heat source pattern will be obviously increased.
Thermal tomography is a tomographic analysis of the heat distribution pattern of cellular metabolism in the human body, not a tomography of the human body tissues (different from CT, MRI).
Thermal tomography is more accurate in determining depth in more uniform body tissues, such as the abdomen, back, and parts of the chest. In 1997, TTM began clinical trials;

In February 2010, the Research Center for Science and Technology Development in Medicine and Health of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China organized hundreds of hospitals across the country for two consecutive years to carry out extensive research on the clinical application of thermal tomography (TTM). It is mainly composed of scanning frame, scanning bed and console
Scanning bed: the rotating disk on the lower part of the scanning bed can be rotated 360 degrees forward and backward, and the rotating armrest can be lifted up and down and rotated along with the rotating disk on the lower part of the scanning bed.
Scanning frame: scanning head through the head set up in the scanning frame, the scanning head through the console can be lifted, left and right and tilt rotation scanning.
Manipulator: through the console for image gathering, scanning start and stop control. 1、High sensitivity--accurate characterization
TTM system, as a kind of functional imaging technology, takes cells as the basic detection unit and is highly sensitive to the early functional changes or abnormalities of the cells, and carries out depth tomography in millimeters to accurately determine the depth of the heat source, which is very accurate for the characterization of tumors and other major diseases.
2. Specificity--High diagnostic accuracy
TTM system carries out comprehensive evaluation of thermal radiation data of the whole body, judging the health condition by multiple sets of data, avoiding the limitation of sticking to a certain tissue or organ, and providing high diagnostic accuracy of tumors, cardio-cerebral and cerebral vascular diseases, etc., and diagnosis of breast cancer. The accuracy of diagnosis of breast cancer can be as high as 99.5%.
3, fast and comprehensive - 3-minute whole-body scanning and 15-minute comprehensive assessment
TTM system whole-body scanning takes only 3-5 minutes, and the comprehensive assessment of the whole body health condition can be completed in 15 minutes, which realizes a variety of detection functions such as multi-point, regional, and tomography.
4. Early Detection - Early Foreseeing, Early Diagnosis, Early Treatment
TTM system is able to detect the lesions when they occur in cells, and can clearly diagnose the disease during the latent period of the disease, which is several years or even more than ten years earlier than the traditional examination methods, which is conducive to the early treatment of the disease in the controllable stage. The treatment of the disease can be carried out at an early stage when the disease is under control.
5, green detection - non-invasive, non-invasive
TTM system detection process is only to receive the thermal information radiated by the body cells, no environmental pollution, no radiation, non-invasive, the physical examination process is safe, can be repeated testing, there is no test and the possibility of inducing disease.
6, dynamic detection - in situ real-time monitoring
TTM system detection process, the body cells to maintain a natural metabolic movement state, TTM received the body's most real and effective information, can be clearly recorded and presented at every moment of the body's thermal radiation.
7, high efficiency -- information database capacity
TTM system whole-body scanning 5100 thermal tomography images can be processed into 10 / case TTM images, each case of image data volume of only 400 ~ 500K, network transfer speed of only 5 seconds, the average daily number of patients can reach 100 times. The average number of consultations per day can be 100 or more.
8, low cost - low energy consumption
TTM system use process on the environment without pollution, no interference, no special requirements for the environment, the whole set of equipment, energy consumption ≤ 800W. First, the TTM system can be used for diagnosis of the whole body system
TTM system diagnosis has shown a very high sensitivity and specificity. The TTM system can be used to diagnose all systems of the body. Not only can organic lesions be detected, but also endocrine disorders and dysfunctions of non-organic lesions can be diagnosed.
TTM system has diagnosed more than 500,000 cases of more than 500 diseases.
Clinical application statistics show that:
TTM system's diagnostic compliance rate for early malignant tumors has reached more than 85%;
Early infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and embolism can be accurately diagnosed and predicted at an early stage, with an accuracy rate of more than 85%;
Thyroid, mammary gland, prostate and gynecological disease diagnostic accuracy rate can reach more than 90%.
TTM system and 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, and comparative analysis, in the tissue morphology on the basis of the functional imaging intervention, the combination of the two for the localization of foci and qualitatively more accurate to meet the clinical requirements of the higher level to explore the disease. The combination of the two is more accurate in the localization and characterization of lesions, which meets the clinical requirement of exploring the condition at a higher level.
2, TTM system used in therapeutic effect detection
1, TTM system can be used to observe the functional changes of the treated organs before and after the use of medication;
2, TTM system can be used to observe the functional changes of the treated organs before and after the surgery;
3, TTM system can be used to observe the therapeutic effect of physical therapy and other rehabilitation treatments before and after the comparison situation;
......
Based on the TTM system's monitoring of the human body before and after medication or surgery, the treatment program can be adjusted in time to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health evaluates the monitoring effect of TTM: "TTM's 60-minute efficacy data takes more than three months to obtain clinically."
