舌诊现代化研究的回顾与展望

随着中医临床现代化的进一步发展，对舌象诊断也提出了客观化、定量化的新要求。自50年代中期以来，许多中医、中西医结合和其他学科的研究人员都致力于舌诊现代化的研究，取得了一定的成果。尤其近些年来，计算机技术迅猛发展带动的信息技术革命，为舌诊现代化研究注入了新的活力。回顾40多年舌诊现代化研究的历程，大致经历了三个阶段：(1)借助现代医学手段，推进舌诊指标微观化；(2)立足传统中医理论，进行舌诊内容定量化研究；(3)以信息技术为依托，多学科融合。本文对三个阶段的研究内容和特点进行综述，并描述了舌诊现代化研究的前景。

Researches into the modernization of tongue diagnosis:in retrospect and prospect

With the further development of clinical modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), new request to tongue diagnosis for objectivity and quantification is raised. Many researchers have devoted themselves to this field and have achieved some accomplishments since 1950's. Especially in recent years,the revolution of information technique derived from computer industry brings the research new chances.The research history of the past five decades can be divided into three stages:(1) looking for micro markers by newly developed medical technique; (2) quantifying traditional markers by new technique; (3) further development based on information technique and corporation of multiple subjects. This article reviewed the three stages and described its prospect.
