摘　　要：The rapid development of terahertz technology promotes the realization of various terahertz imaging systems.Terahertz technology features terahertz waves as good non-invasive illumination sources due to their high spectral resolution,penetration and safety.The terahertz imaging technique(TIT)has gradually been extended from the biomedical field to the field of Chinese medicine(CM),and it has become a powerful tool for seeking scientific evidence for CM theories with the use of modern science and technology.This paper reviews the current application of TITs in the field of CM research,and most importantly offers novel proposals for the application of TITs in CM research from the perspective of CM syndrome objectification and acupuncture research and cites existing reports as reference to the feasibility of these new proposals.
