目的：制定中医脉诊的分类标准，使古老的诊断技术客观化。
方法：将中医脉象曲线视为波信号。进行多维变量分析，以在记录的中医脉波波形和伽马密度函数集合之间提供最佳曲线拟合。
结果：中医脉象可通过新制定的四个分类指标进行定量识别，即波长、相对相位差、速率参数和峰值比。这种新的定量分类不仅减少了脉诊对中医医生经验的依赖，还能够更精确地解释病理腕部脉象波形。
结论：传统上，中医医生用指尖感受患者的腕部脉象以确定其健康状况。中医脉诊的定性理论基于中医医生数千年的经验。然而，没有定量理论将这些不同的腕部脉象波形与患者的健康状况联系起来。在本文中，引入了新的量化分类指标以客观地解释中医脉象波形模式。（C）2006爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Aim: To develop classification criteria for Chinese pulse diagnosis and to objectify the ancient diagnostic technique.Methods: Chinese pulse curves are treated as wave signals. Multidimensional variable analysis is performed to provide the best curve fit between the recorded Chinese pulse waveforms and the collective Gamma density functions.Results: Chinese pulses can be recognized quantitatively by the newly-developed four classification indices, that is, the wave length, the relative phase difference, the rate parameter, and the peak ratio. The new quantitative classification not only reduces the dependency of pulse diagnosis on Chinese physician's experience, but also is able to interpret pathological wrist-pulse waveforms more precisely.Conclusions: Traditionally, Chinese physicians use fingertips to feet the wrist-pulses of patients in order to determine their health conditions. The qualitative theory of the Chinese pulse diagnosis is based on the experience of Chinese physicians for thousands of years. However, there are no quantitative theories to relate these different wrist-pulse waveforms to the health conditions of patients. In this paper, new quantified classification indices have been introduced to interpret the Chinese pulse waveform patterns objectively. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
