In this paper, we propose a method of analysing the relation between the patient's face color and his(her) kidney disease using image processing technology. This method is based on the ocular inspection which is one of the most famous diagnosis methods used in the oriental medical system. The way of processing and analysing the face image, which is for visualization and objectification of the color difference, is included. The objects are selected from the patients who suffer the kidney disease and use the hemodialyzer. Their facial images and clinical data are collected. From these data, we propose a hypothesis that the color of the patient's face is changed according to the patient's kidney state. At the same time, we present two algorithms of extracting the specific part of face which can identify the state of the patient's kidney and tracing the history of the color's change. This proposed method is evaluated through the practical experiments and their analysis.

Objectives A study on the importance of observing face color in the Dongeuibogam and the other things to know when we observe face color. Methods We used Deyuk Dongeuibogam of Dongeuibogam publishing company from original photographic edition. Results (1) In all section(ex. Naekyungpyeon, Oehyeongpyeon and Japbyoungpyeon), the chapters related with observing face color were fifty-one. In Naekyungpyeon, the chapters related with observing face color were nineteen(37%). In Oehyeongpyeon, the chapters related with observing face color were ten(20%). In Japbyoungpyeon, the chapters related with observing face color were twenty-two(43%). In all section(ex. Naekyungpyeon, Oehyeongpyeon and Japbyoungpyeon), the statements related with observing face color were three-hundred and nine. In Naekyungpyeon, the statements related with observing face color were sixty-four(21%). In Oehyeongpyeon, the statements related with observing face color were fifty-two(17%). In Japbyoungpyeon, the statements related with observing face color were one hundred ninety-three(62%). (2) In each chapter, the number of statement related with observing face color was studied. Pediatric Chapter (75) were the most common, followed by The way of finding the cause of a disease (27) Face (26) Cold (24) Weak&Fatigue (12) Phlegm, Jaundice (8) Nose, Worm, Chronic indigestion (7) Mouth&Tongue, Woman, Stool (6) Bodyshape, Liver, Heart, Kidney, Cough (5) Eye, Carbunculosis (4) Blood, Voice, Spleen, Lung, Chest, Fire, Edema, Detoxification (3) in order. (3) In each section(ex. Naekyungpyeon, Oehyeongpyeon and Japbyoungpyeon), the rate of chapter related with observing face color was studied. Naekyungpyeon(73%) was the highest. Japbyoungpyeon(61%). Oehyeongpyeon(38%) was the lowest. Conclusions The importance of each chapter for observing face color in the Dongeuibogam was studied. In addition, the entire ocular inspection, the part ocular inspection, moisture and the difference of skin according to the personal constitution should be considered. There are not only the important parts of the past that does not mean but also the unimportant parts of the past that are meaningful now. Additional studies will be needed for the latter.

The kidney keeps with close relationship in the internal organs, that the kidney function filtering eliminate the wastes to the urine on the processing to replace the old with the new blood. In case of these problem in the kidney, there is no way to catch out with self-awakening symptom except for serious illness. This problem can solve with keeping the systematic diagnosis method in the kidney trouble shooting. Under the circumstances, the importance of the diagnosis for the kidney disease is growing day after day. In this paper, among the great four diagnosises, using the way of ocular inspection & auscultation, we would like to propose rouble shooting in the way of the kidney. To do this, through the assistance of the input image, extract the value of the color with appropriate output, analysing the color of the face with related to the kidney, using the results we would like to get the accurate symptoms on the kidney's problems. Also, through analysing and comparing with the relationship the kidney and the signal of voice, we would like to realize the proof system of human health. Finally, we'd like to make proof of the usefulness for proposed method from this study.

Medicine such as Korean oriental medicine and alternative medicine is inferior to western medicine in diagnostic skills and treatment regimen but despite going through a lot of in western medicine preference to that is situations. Likewise, in Korean oriental medicine and alternative medicine have been closely linked to that effect not proven scientifically to be solved is regarded as the biggest drawback. In this paper, auricular therapy that is often used in alternative medicine to help strengthen the internal organs function which whether the conduct of stimulating ear is effective or not by applying to ocular inspection of Korean oriental medicine is proposed. For this purpose, lung ear reflex points to stimulate were performed after the right cheek color by measuring stimulation before comparison and analysis of the experiments. In addition, in order to examine this first analysis of the human body to the lungs and the elements of image analysis is to study. Experimental result, derived b value increased to a value of the right cheek and the results by lung ear to stimulate reflex point.

In this paper, using a image processing techniques to develop an color analysis program to apply the influence analysis by smoking were analyzed. So, this study was conducted to analyze is based on oriental medicine diagnosis theory, especially ocular inspection, of the right cheek area of the lung and lung function and weakness associated with it closer to white by applying IT image processing techniques based on smoking to compare the change in color according to the face. From this, 15 patients with 20 male subjects before and after smoking extract the color of the area on the right cheek, a values and b values in Lab digital color system were analyzed by smoking how to analyze what is changing. Also, health care system based on this variation reflects the individual, personalized will be constructed. Experimental results on the right cheek area approach to the color white according to the amounts of smoking, this is by smoking adversely affects lungs function that can be analyzed.

Thirteen patients received a coralline hydroxyapatite sphere as a buried integrated ocular implant after enucleation surgery. The implant was modified by multiple drillings, 1 mm in diameter, to the center of the sphere to allow more rapid host tissue ingrowth. $^{99m}Tc$-MDP planar and tomographic bone scintigraphies were performed at various intervals after implantation (from 100 to 742 days after operation) to assess vascularization of the implant. All patients showed hot uptakes in the implants. These patients underwent a secondary drilling for the final motility peg application. The confirmation of vascular ingrowth was done by inspection of bleeding at the time of bleeding at the time of drilling from the center of the implant. Bleeding from the drilled implant was noted in all patients. In cnclusion, hot uptake in the implanted ocular hydroxyapatite implant accurately reflect vascular ingrowth into the implant.
