Applying Surface Fitting in the Medical Thermal Texture Maps

Abstract:

This paper studies the application of surface fitting technology in medical tomography. In clinical research, in the result of early detection of cancer increasingly critical, the accuracy and efficiency become the most important issues in medical tomography. However, recent research on medical tomography only use curve fitting technology and only can fit single point heat source, which cause the analyzed result not accurate enough and complex the process of medical tomography. To improve the problem, surface fitting technology is applied in medical tomography, and then information of multiple heat sources can be directly fitted out. The experiments have confirmed: using Custom Equation fitting method in the Curve Fitting Toolbox of MATLAB can accurately fit out heats as well as locations of multiple heat sources (information of diseases area). The result improves the accuracy and efficiency of the Tomography and provides the base for the design.
