ICT01) TUMOR DETECTION USING IRIS PATTERN

Introduction Cancer was the top 10 killer in the world. WHO reported that in years 2000, death cause by cancer patient is 6.2 million people worldwide (WHO, 2003). The earlier cancer patient know he was infected by cancer would give him higher chances to cure it. It is event better if we can predict and prevent it rather than curing it. With iridology, we could analyze cell and body activities (Lindlahr, 1919). When cells growth abnormally, iris will show some sign and changes that iridologist could tell it tumor stated to grow (Lindlahr, 1919). Thus this could prevent the tumor from grow or grow into second stage that is cancer. If we could computerize the iridology diagnosis method, we believe it would benefit million of people and iridologist to prevent patient cancer. Figure 1, shows proposed computerized iridology system to diagnose patient.
