I am a dedicated radiologist and clinical researcher currently pursuing a Doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Medical Imaging at Ningxia Medical University. My professional journey is defined by a transition from frontline diagnostic radiology to advanced interventional research, with a specialized focus on minimally invasive therapies for musculoskeletal chronic pain.

My academic foundation was established at China Medical University, where I graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Imaging. This rigorous program provided me with a comprehensive understanding of radiological physics and cross-sectional anatomy, which would later serve as the bedrock of my clinical career. Following graduation, I joined the Department of Radiology at Yichang Yiling People’s Hospital, where I served as a Radiologist from 2017 to 2022. During these five years of clinical practice, I encountered a vast array of complex cases, sharpening my diagnostic proficiency across X-ray, CT, and MRI modalities. This period was instrumental in helping me recognize the clinical gap between diagnostic findings and effective, minimally invasive treatment options for aging populations.

Driven by a desire to advance the therapeutic capabilities of imaging, I pursued a Master’s degree in Medical Imaging at the prestigious Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital (301 Hospital) from 2022 to 2025. Studying at one of China’s premier medical institutions allowed me to engage with cutting-edge imaging technologies and sophisticated research methodologies. It was during this tenure that I developed a profound interest in the intersection of interventional radiology and functional outcomes, particularly regarding degenerative joint diseases.

In 2025, I commenced my doctoral studies at Ningxia Medical University, joining a leading research group at the forefront of interventional oncology and musculoskeletal interventions. My current research focuses on the efficacy and safety of Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for chronic pain secondary to knee osteoarthritis. I am currently leading a prospective study evaluating the 12-month clinical outcomes of GAE, with a particular emphasis on comparing therapeutic responses across different Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grades and utilizing semi-quantitative MRI assessment tools like the MOAKS score. Our recent findings highlight the significant potential of GAE as a safe and effective alternative to surgery, especially for patients with severe osteoarthritis (K-L grade 4) who are ineligible for total knee arthroplasty.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to the principle that imaging should not only "see" the disease but also guide the cure. My background—combining early clinical experience in a regional hospital, elite master’s training at the PLA General Hospital, and current high-impact doctoral research—positions me to contribute meaningful advancements to the field of interventional radiology. I aim to continue exploring the pathophysiological mechanisms of pain relief through advanced imaging, ultimately improving the quality of life for patients through innovative, image-guided interventions.
