Abstract

The application of infrared imaging in biomedical fields has been very broad, but the research results of the lesion of knee by using of infrared imaging have seldom been reported at present. On the basis of infrared images research, we present the exploring image analysis and relate the programming optimum entropy algorithm about infrared imaging analysis. The paper demonstrates the comparative study on the infrared images contrast between the pathological knee and the reference normal group through the optimum entropy algorithm. The rule of variation between the normal image and pathological changes of level about knee lesion in patients is gained. The research results provide a kind of methods for the clinical diagnosis of the pathological knee and also discuss the value of application about the optimum entropy algorithm in infrared imaging analysis. Contrasting the MRI or CT, the infrared imaging is cheap and harmless. So the method can be used in health care and prophylactic detection.
