Profile

Jian Li, Ph.D., Master's supervisor, and Chief Physician, currently serves as an Executive Committee Member of the Tumor Interventional Branch of the Society of Organ Medicine and Technology. His primary research focuses on the diagnosis and interventional treatment of tumors using ultrasound, with a particular emphasis on the clinical application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and elastography in precision oncology. In recent years, he has led key projects, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China General Program (Grant No. 82172019, 2022-2025) and the Clinical Research 308 Project (2019-2024). His research findings have been published in esteemed international journals such as Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics, BMC Medical Imaging, and Cancer Medicine, and have been presented at prestigious conferences, including EUROSON. As the first or corresponding author, his studies encompass AI-assisted diagnosis of axillary lymph node metastasis in early breast cancer, optimization strategies for ultrasound-guided biopsy, and precision biopsy techniques for anterior mediastinal masses. Notably, his research on CEUS-guided biopsy of anterior mediastinal masses has been incorporated into the Mediastinal Imaging Appropriateness Criteria by the American College of Radiology (ACR), contributing to the standardization and advancement of ultrasound applications in tumor diagnosis and treatment.
