Figure 1
Comparison between acupuncture points (from the anatomical guidelines provided in [19]) and fascia imaging data. The fascia connective tissue gathering areas were constructed using MIMICS11.02 software based on the digital datasets of VCH bodies. (a) Location of the Ren Channel (A) and Du Channel (B): (1) Tanzhong. (2) Juque. (3) Shenque. (4) Qugu. (5) Dazhui. (6) Shendao. (7) Yaoyangguan. (8) Yaoshu. (b) Reconstruction of fascia pathways approximating the Ren Channel (A) and Du Channel (B). (c) Locations of the Triple energizer meridian of hand-shaoyang (a) and the Large intestine meridian of hand-yangming (b): (1) Tianjing. (2) Sanyangluo. (3) Yangchi. (4) Guanchong. (5) Quchi. (6) Pianli. (7) Hegu. (8) Shangyang. (d) Reconstruction of fascia pathways in the arm approximating the Triple energizer meridian of hand-shaoyang (A) and the Large intestine meridian of hand-yangming (B). (e) Locations of the Kidney meridian of foot-shaoyin (A) and the Gallbladder meridian of foot-shaoyang (B): (1) Yingu. (2) Zhubin. (3) Dazhong. (4) Rangu. (5) Fengshi. (6) Yanglingquan. (7) Xuanzhong. (8) Qiuxu. (f) Reconstruction of fascia pathways in the leg approximating the Kidney meridian of foot-shaoyin (A) and the Gallbladder meridian of foot-shaoyang (B).
