Abstract:
The development of informatization and modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been restricted to some degree due to the lack of sufficient modern scientific evidence to support TCM theory. Rapid development of computer technology, information and imaging technology, which can be used to explore TCM theory and mechanism, may bring hope to solve this problem. In recent years, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been widely used to study TCM theory and mechanism. However, shortage of interdisciplinary talents those who possess both medical and engineering knowledge has restricted the development of fMRI research in the field of Chinese medicine. With the development of the discipline of TCM information science in TCM colleges and universities, students majoring in TCM information science will be the main source of researchers engaging in TCM fMRI researches. The flourishing development of TCM fMRI researches will cultivate a large number of talents adapting in TCM information science who will promote the construction of TCM information science.
