Question:
Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes the Four Examinations
observation, listening, smelling, questioning, and palpation. Can diagnosis of symptoms be achieved through video imaging?

necessary to supplement with modern medical instruments or methods for examination. For example, in Chinese orthopedics, X-ray examinations are required, while liver and kidney function may be assessed through blood tests, and so on.
