摘要
Electrical resistance of the acupuncture points reflects the condition of the associated organs or systems, and has been used as diagnose / monitor aid for more than 50 years. The resistance is measured by introducing a small electrical current into the body via an electrode and to measure the voltage, and the result could gain a large number of resistance data. Data visualization makes it very easy to give a visual interpretation of the results. It is the graphical presentation of multidimensional data so that viewers can understand the underlying structure and relationships hidden in the data. This study uses multidimensional charts to show meridian data, provides the viewer with a qualitative understanding of the meridian information contents, and can be developed into a novel method for meridian diagnosis.
