Abstract

A scoliosis identification system and method based on active millimeter-wave imaging technology. An active millimeter-wave scanning assembly (1) transmits millimeter-wave signals of a specific frequency band towards a human back, receives echo signals from the human back, and sends the received echo signals to a terminal control device (6), achieving non-invasive scanning of the human back. An active millimeter-wave flat panel device (2), under the control of the terminal control device (6), drives the active millimeter-wave scanning assembly (1) to scan sequentially from top to bottom to obtain three-dimensional morphological data of the human back. A pressure sensing device (3) measures pressure distribution data when the human body is standing, and sends the collected pressure distribution data to the terminal control device (6). The system can effectively overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, namely the low accuracy and efficiency in scoliosis identification when faced with high-throughput and rapid periodic screening.
