I myself shared the roles and strengths of various medical imaging techniques, including X-rays, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (MRI), in treating musculoskeletal-related joint pain. I briefly introduced ultrasound and X-ray-guided micro-artery embolization, as well as various image-guided interventional therapies. I also shared courses I've taken, including those from the Pain Medicine Association, the Proliferative Medicine Association, and the Handheld ultrasound (Portable US).

Due to last week's [), I met Yang Chi-hua, a senior student from the Department of General Medicine at National Cheng Kung University. He currently practices at the Quan-An Clinic in Yizhu, Chiayi.

He also shared his experiences at clinics and health centers. Having previously worked at the National Cheng Kung University Medical Service Center and accompanied doctors on their rounds during his internship, I can somewhat imagine the hardships involved. The senior student is very dedicated in class. Those in Yizhu, Chiayi with related needs can seek treatment from Dr. Yang.
