METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSING OF PATIENT CLINICAL STATE Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method and device are intended for diagnostics of number of diseases accompanied by changes in patient internal state. Method consists in computer processing of multiple measurements of patient surface temperature with subsequent presentation of nature and coordinates of pathology in volume of patient's body. High accuracy of diagnostics is conditioned by disease dynamics observation. Device intended for method realization has temperature measurement unit (contact thermometer) connected to unit of main memory, memory unit connected to unit of main memory and to comparison unit, program unit connected to program realization unit and visualization unit. Temperature measurement and main memory units are arranged in autonomous case provided with connector which allows information transfer to computer. Program realization unit executes programs recorded in program unit for processing of obtained data, as a result of which coordinates and nature of pathologies in patient's body are determined. Diagnosis and location of pathology are displayed on computer monitor screen. EFFECT: extended diagnostic capabilities. 10 cl, 2 dwg
