Iridological Evaluation Results 2003
Iridological Software Evaluation Results June 06, 2003
The general scheme of Iridological Software used for evaluation:
The most important advantage of computer technology is the possibility of computer processing of the iris picture. Advanced iridodiagnostic software, as the Bexel Irina and Russian Iridological Analysis systems, provide automatic determination of the main iris structures and automatic measurement of geometric parameters. Such parameter data includes the area of the iris, form and position of pupils, width and form of pupillary margin and form of the autonomic nerve wreath. The first part of iridodiagnostic conclusion, which is based on processing of these parameters, is accomplished automatically with high precision.

.
The second stage of diagnosis is based on mapping of the iris according to the chart of the selected iridological school. Both software versions allows us to select the required chart from the database. In the Bexel Irina software, the charts of 9 schools are included. In the Russian Iridological Analysis system, 7 charts are included. Superposition of such chart on the iris of the concrete person is also done automatically, with the corresponding adjustments to the borders of the iris structures of the concrete person. The Iridologist, working with computer complex, can mark the iris pathological sign on the screen and the software determines, to which organ and system area it belongs. He can also select the type and subtype of the iridological sign from the menu. The software nearly supports every step of the work. Basing on the obtained data, software automatically suggests recommendations, concerning nutrition, physical activity, additional medical examinations etc. The template of conclusion with recommendations is compiled by software and represented to the Iridologist and is convenient for editing. The Iridologist who is responsible for the diagnosis, should check and, if necessary, correct it. After any additional editing, the conclusion can be saved into database or printed.
The Bexel Irina software used by CNRI also supports the medical history of patients, which is essential for making diagnosis and recommendations. Besides the general information, as age, sex, address, laterality, medical history data can be included into computer text file, accompanying the iris image. Software databases provide the convenient work with iris images and patients histories, combined into Protocol of examination files.
Modern computers now have huge memory volumes, so it is possible to store a large number of protocols, which is important for continuous observation of patients. Comparing the images of the previous and present examinations an Iridologist can then evaluate the dynamics of the patient's state and pathological processes. A printed conclusion and recommendations can be given to the patient and is also possible to print the hard copy of iris image via high resolution printer.
Taking into consideration all advantages that Iridology has to offer, it is essential not to forget that irido-reflexology is not an absolute or exact method of diagnostics. No diagnostic method is 'exact'. Its reliability in many types of organic pathology is 65 - 85%. (4) The best results from the STC study were achieved in the pathology of hepatic-biliary system, mastopathy of different etiology and pathology of kidneys and lungs.
The following problems were solved by introducing the modern computer technologies into iridological practice:
1: Impossibility of the mathematical analysis of the image, not correct definition of projective zones location, frequently resulted in the incorrect or incomplete conclusions;
2: Enhanced quality of iris images with consistent pupil size by using internal light sources.
3: Accuracy of iris chart topography, automatic computer detection of iris sectors in relation to size of eye, size of pupil, location of pupil, location of autonomic nerve wreath. Every iridology chart is prototypical to the uniqueness of every eye analyzed therefor there is no single "correct' iridology chart that will serve mankind;
4: Visual overstrain and fatigue when working with small mobile iris images, resulted in significant reduction of doctors vision.
Nevertheless, the high informative capacity, simplicity of the method, non-invasiveness, absolute harmlessness and possibility to find the primary reasons of symptoms of pathology allow iridodiagnostics to open new opportunities in medicine, especially in preventive medicine.
Integral Iridologic Chart
The determination of organ and system projection in the iris is rather long and difficult process. It is required to accumulate a massive amount of archive materials, to make investigations of patients not only having a certain disease, for example, of the liver or heart, but also having several pathologic processes of reflexive and neighboring organs. It is required to have clinical, anatomical and histological confirmations of all cases, to make selection and analysis of similar type data and to provide dynamic observations during several years with consequent iris images registration.

Bexel Irina Integrative Iridology Chart
As a result of investigation of more than 20,000 patients STC proposed a modified integrated projection chart of organ zones found in the iris (iridology chart).
It is well known that the healthy organ is not painful. An individual, who does not suffer from pathology of the heart, kidneys or other organs can not precisely point to their location in his body. Similarly, in case of genetic and physiological health of some organs their projections do not contain any information. In the presence of pathological processes in different organs and systems, the principle of dominant priorities of their reflection in the iris will show signs, that is, more severe processes, often genetically conditioned, causing the changes of organ structures, are exposed in the iris.
We distinguish 14 joint organic areas in both irides. Mainly, there are associations with the: spinal column - digestive tract, spinal column - heart, lungs - mammary glands, leg - kidney - adrenal gland. It should be taken into consideration that despite of partial community of the projective areas of some organs the pathology of most of them has the specific reflection in the iris, and, with the sufficient experience, it is possible, for example, to distinguish the pathology of lumbar vertebrae and pancreas, having the common projection, but different iris symptoms.
Important factors of projective area determination include:
1: Limits of possible shifting of organs projections.
2: Various pathological processes, changing the dimensions of some organs, lead to the pronounced shift of coordinates in the iris due to their dilation or reduction.
Specific data of various organ-systems as follows:
Lungs - the upper border (9.50 at the right side and 2.10 at the left side) is stable, because the anatomy of chest does not allow the upper parts of lungs to heave upwards considerably. The lower border (9.00 at the right side and 3.00 at the left side) can be shifted downwards substantially due to the flattening of the diaphragm dome, up to 8.15 at the right side and 3.45 at the left side in the lungs in cases of emphysema, bronchial asthma, pneumosclerosis, etc.
Liver - the projection at the right side at 7.30 - 8.10. The borders of the projection can shift up to 7.15 - 8.30 in cirrhosis, portal hypertension, echinococcosis, ascites etc.
Kidneys - the projections at 5.30 - 6.00 at the right side and 6.00 - 6.30 at the left side in hydronephrosis can occupy the iris area from 5.20 to 6.30 at the right and the left sides, depending on the laterality of pathology. It has also been observed the borders changeability of heart, pancreas, large intestine, spleen and some other organs. Knowledge of the certain rules of the shifted borders projections allows to make the diagnosis of the diseases with the higher reliability.
Irido-agressive areas: the increase of size of the ascending and descending parts of the large intestine by the megacolon, dolichosigma etc. Such types are revealed in the iris as being considerable, depending on the extent of pathology, shift of the autonomous wreath to the ciliary belt direction. This shift can reach the iris radix. In such cases, the diagnosis of an organs condition, being in the intestine aggression area, is impossible.
Multiply projection of organs. There are no "specific signs" of certain diseases in the iris, such as cancer, rheumatism, infarction, organ insult, etc. The signs of pathology of organs and systems are only reflected via the iris (inner hypertension, violation of function or structure, hereditary weakness, pigment development, etc.).
Since injuries of the same organ manifest themselves by different ways - pancreatitis and diabetes, hepatitis and cholecystitis, prostatitis and adenoma - the character of manifestations found in the iris are also different. In the injury of pancreas the changes can be registered in 6 projections in the form of more than 20 irido-structural signs.
The combination of iris signs or irido-syndromes. The functioning of the organism is the very complex process of interaction of all organs and systems combined. The violation of such organs and systems is reflected in the state and function of many structures, supporting life. In clinical practice it is manifested by the variability of symptoms and syndromes. For example, in chronic cholecystitis, not only gallbladder, but often also liver, pancreas, stomach, intestine are involved. In the iris this pathology can be found both in gall bladder and the suffering organ area. Ignorance of such peculiarities often lead to the incorrect evaluation of the true clinical picture thus not the true interpretation of the organs projection.
It should be mentioned in conclusion that around 70% of iridology charts coincide whole or partially and around 25% of differences can be explained by the reasons given above.
Phase One
Phase one of the iridological software evaluation consists of taking digital iris images of students and faculty at Capital University of Integrative Medicine (CUIM). This evaluation was also offered to CNRI students and health professionals who showed genuine interest in evaluating the technology and software used at CNRI. Since the majority of participants in this study are health professionals, there is a greater opportunity and more advantageous understanding of health related issues.
Iris analysis reports are completed without previous knowledge of pathology of the subject and no medical clinical history is taken until participant completes the web based evaluation form whereas participants also have the opportunity to give their medical history for further analysis study and evaluations. Each subject was evaluated by utilizing both the Korean designed Bexel Irina 2.0 and the Russian designed Iridological Analysis Software version 3.0. (6) for comparative evaluation and accuracy of participant results. The evaluation study began August 31, 2002 and will continue as an ongoing study for several years to come.
For this reason, this study can be classified an ongoing "simple blind" evaluation rather than a conventional clinical trial style approach. Each pair of iris images will be observed manually for an average of 15 minutes, looking for general and sectorial iris signs. Only the general iris signs were used for this study. The software will automatically compile the parameters of the pupil and autonomic nerve wreath which will represent 75% of diagnosis.

Authors Comments of the Above Evaluation
Owing to the partial nature of our preliminary results, we have only illustrated the values of iridology in clinical studies.
Part Two of our study will apply all statistical concepts exposed here in theory to a hopefully larger and more accurate selection of volunteers.
The positive first results of this evaluation have shown that Irido-diagnostics can be successfully applied in day-ot-day clinical work.
This is true for both primary care physicians and all clinics and hospitals of the Western Official Medical setting.
This is available within a larger concept of integration with any other diagnostic modality.
Irido-diagnostics, however, offers a higher degree of patient acceptance, extended scope, no invasiveness at all, hygienic conditions for examiners, and substantial accuracy at reduced costs.
