Ocular inspection in oriental medicine, which identifies sickness by patient's skin color, is usually applied by doctor's subjective judgment. In order to reduce the subjectiveness of diagnosis, we propose a method of objective and quantitative analysis for ocular inspection. The most issued features for ocular inspection are how to identify the color of patients' face in various situations, and how to link the relation between color and sickness. For resolving these two issues, the color system of CIE Lab is adopted for analyzing and classifying the color characteristics. The classification of color features is verified by experiments on groups of patients and non-patients. The results of experiments showed that the proposed method can provide an objective means for ocular inspection using patient's skin color.

당뇨병환자는 일반인에 비해 간질환에 걸릴 위험이 2배에도 불구하고 간 합병증에 대한 위험성은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 당교병의 합병증으로 발생하는 간질환은 대개 심각한 질환으로 이어지는 경우는 드문 편이다. 간혹 다른 이유의 검진을 통해서 우연찮게 간의 이상을 발견하기도 하는데, 이는 대부분의 간질환이 특별한 증상이 없기 때문이다. 간질환을 제대로 치료하지 않고 방치한다면 간염, 간경변증 및 간암에 까지 이어져 치명적인 결과를 낳는다. 당뇨병과 간은 어떤 관계가 있는지 살펴보자.
