Taiji Academy｜我們想做的，不只是一場 Hands-on 課程
做胎兒醫學這麼多年，我愈來愈相信一件事：
超音波，不能只靠聽課學會。
你可以聽很多演講、看很多漂亮的影像、讀很多 paper，但真正坐到超音波機器前面，probe 放下去的那一刻，還是得靠自己的手，找到那個切面、看懂那個影像，然後做出判斷。
所以這幾年，我一直在想：
台兒的教育，下一步要往哪裡走？
我的答案慢慢變得很清楚。
我們需要的，不只是更多的 lecture。
我們需要一個真正可以「學」、可以「做」、可以「反覆練習」，而且可以把亞洲優秀胎兒醫學專家連結起來的平台。
這就是我想做的 Taiji Academy。
從台兒工作坊，到 Taiji Academy
台兒胎兒醫學工作坊一路走到第 18 屆。
這些年，我們邀請過許多國內外老師，也做過很多病例討論與實作課程。
但是到了今天，我希望再往前走一步。
從 Workshop，走向 Academy。
Workshop 是一次活動。
Academy 則是一個長期的教育平台。
我希望未來的 Taiji Academy，可以把台兒多年累積的胎兒醫學病例、影像、掃描方法與教學經驗整理起來，也把台灣、日本、韓國以及東南亞優秀的 fetal medicine specialists 連結起來。
讓學習不只是「來聽一場演講」，而是真正建立能力。
這也是今年第 18 屆台兒胎兒醫學工作坊會前 Hands-on 實作課程，我們想開始做的事。
四個國家，四位老師，四個 Mission
今年 11 月 20 日下午，我們只開放 32 個名額。
32 個人分成四組，每組 8 人。
不是坐在大教室裡聽一下午。
而是直接進入四個 Mission。
Fetal Heart、Fetal Brain、PAS Imaging、PAS Surgical Mapping。
從模擬訓練，到真正的 ultrasound scanning concept；從 2D imaging，到 3D volume、rendering，再到 post-processing。
我們希望把「看懂影像」，往前推進到「知道怎麼取得影像」；再從「做出診斷」，往前推進到「這張影像如何改變臨床決策」。
Mission 1｜胎兒心臟：把複雜的心臟，變成可以反覆練習的系統
第一站由台灣的 池宛玲醫師 Dr. Wan-Ling Chih 帶領。
宛玲是小兒心臟科醫師，也是台兒的主治醫師。她受過完整的小兒心臟與心臟超音波訓練，長期投入胎兒先天性心臟病的產前診斷、諮詢，以及出生後照護的銜接。
胎兒心臟一直是產科超音波裡最令人害怕的部分之一。
我的想法卻一直是：
愈困難的東西，愈需要拆解成可以重複訓練的步驟。
所以這一站，我們使用 OPUS simulation，讓學員自己操作、自己找切面、自己犯錯，再重新來一次。
Simulation 最大的價值，不是取代病人。
而是讓我們在面對病人以前，可以先把錯誤留在 simulator 上。
Mission 2｜PAS：不只是「有沒有」，而是「在哪裡、到哪裡」
第二位老師來自泰國。
Dr. Savitree Pranpanus 是 Prince of Songkla University 醫學院婦產科副教授，也是 PSU PAS Center 主任，長期專注於 Placenta Accreta Spectrum（PAS）的診斷、研究與治療。她同時擔任 Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists 專業標準委員會主席。
這一次，我特別邀請她來台灣。
因為 PAS 是一個非常適合重新思考「超音波到底要做到什麼程度」的疾病。
我們不應該只停在：
Is it PAS?
而應該繼續問：
Where is it?
How extensive is it?
What does the surgeon need to know before entering the operating room?
Dr. Pranpanus 將使用 Samsung Z20 與 5D Viewer，帶大家實際學習 PAS imaging、3D volume acquisition、rendering，以及 case-based analysis。
我很期待這一站。
因為這正是超音波從「診斷工具」走向「臨床決策工具」的過程。
Mission 3｜Fetal Neurosonography：高手是怎麼看胎兒腦的？
第三站，我們邀請來自越南的 Dr. Vo Ta Son。
他是 Vinmec Times City International Hospital 的胎兒醫學醫師，具有 13 年婦產科及產前超音波經驗，並曾接受多項國際胎兒醫學與神經超音波訓練。
有趣的是，2025 年在布拉格舉行的 FMF World Congress on Fetal Medicine 胎兒神經超音波競賽中，他拿下了第一名。
所以我想：
既然高手來了，就不要只請他演講。
讓大家看他的手怎麼做。
這一站會聚焦 fetal neurosonography 的標準切面、掃描技巧與病例分析，搭配 GE E10 與 4D View 實際操作。
胎兒腦部超音波有一個很有趣的地方。
同一個腦，有人看到的是「好像正常」。
有人看到的卻是 anatomy。
這中間的差距，就是訓練。
Mission 4｜從 PAS diagnosis，走向 surgical mapping
最後一站來自印尼。
Dr. Rozi Aditya Aryananda 是 Airlangga University / Dr. Soetomo Academic General Hospital 的母胎醫學專家，也具有 Erasmus University Medical Center 的研究合作經驗。
他的研究很吸引我。
因為他思考 PAS 的方式，不只是 diagnosis，而是把 prenatal imaging 與真正的 surgical anatomy 連接起來。
也就是：
超音波能不能在手術以前，先替外科團隊畫一張地圖？
這一站將使用 Samsung 5D Viewer 與 GE 4D View 做影像後處理，學習 PAS lesion mapping、surgical risk assessment 與 preoperative planning。
這也是我認為未來影像醫學很重要的一個方向。
影像不是做完檢查、寫完報告就結束。
好的影像，應該改變下一步。
為什麼我要做 Taiji Academy？
2008 年，我創立台兒診所。
一路走到今天，我們做了很多胎兒超音波，也累積了很多病例。
2019 年，我又成立台灣胎兒醫學振興會，希望把教育、人才培育、研究與國際交流繼續往前推。
但我愈來愈覺得，病例多不是最重要的。
真正重要的是：這些經驗能不能被傳下去。
一個好的醫師，可以照顧很多病人。
一個好的老師，可以訓練更多好的醫師。
而一個好的教育平台，也許可以讓這件事情持續十年、二十年。
所以，Taiji Academy 對我來說，不只是台兒多辦一個課程。
我希望它慢慢成為一個屬於亞洲的胎兒醫學教育平台。
從台灣出發。
連結日本、韓國、泰國、越南、印尼，以及更多亞洲的 fetal medicine colleagues。
我們分享的不只是 knowledge。
而是 how we scan、how we think、how we make decisions。
11 月 20 日，我們從 32 個人開始
Taiji Academy 不需要一開始就很大。
我反而希望它先從一個小班開始。
32 個人。
每組 8 個人。
四位來自台灣、泰國、越南、印尼的老師。
四個 Mission。
五個半小時。
真正動手做。

English Version:
Taiji Academy | More Than Just a Hands-on Course
After all these years in fetal medicine, there is one thing I have come to believe more and more strongly:
You cannot learn ultrasound simply by attending lectures.
You can listen to countless presentations, look at beautiful images, and read hundreds of papers.
But the moment you sit in front of an ultrasound machine and put the probe on the patient, it comes down to your own hands.
Can you find the right plane?
Can you recognize what you are seeing?
And most importantly, can you make the right clinical decision?
Over the past few years, I have often asked myself:
What should be the next step for fetal medicine education at Taiji?
The answer has gradually become very clear.
We do not simply need more lectures.
We need a place where people can learn, practice, repeat, make mistakes, discuss, and think — and where outstanding fetal medicine specialists from across Asia can learn from one another.
This is what I hope to build with Taiji Academy.
From the Taiji Workshop to Taiji Academy
The Taiji Fetal Medicine Workshop has now reached its 18th edition.
Over the years, we have invited many excellent faculty members from Taiwan and abroad, discussed countless clinical cases, and organized hands-on training in different areas of fetal medicine.
But now, I would like to take one more step forward.
From Workshop to Academy.
A workshop is an event.
An academy is a platform.
My vision for Taiji Academy is to bring together the fetal medicine cases, images, scanning techniques, and teaching experience that Taiji has accumulated over the years — and connect them with outstanding fetal medicine specialists from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
The goal is not simply to help people know more.
The goal is to help people do better.
And that is exactly what we want to begin with the Pre-workshop Hands-on Course of the 18th Taiji Fetal Medicine Workshop.
Four Countries. Four Faculty Members. Four Missions.
On the afternoon of November 20, we will open the course to only 32 participants.
They will be divided into four groups of eight.
This is not an afternoon of sitting in a lecture hall.
Instead, every participant will rotate through four missions:
Fetal Heart.
Fetal Brain.
PAS Imaging.
PAS Surgical Mapping.
From simulation to ultrasound scanning.
From 2D imaging to 3D volume acquisition and rendering.
From image acquisition to post-processing.
And ultimately, from making a diagnosis to understanding how imaging can change clinical decisions.
Mission 1 | Fetal Echocardiography: Turning Complexity into a System You Can Practice
Our first faculty member is Dr. Wan-Ling Chih from Taiwan.
Dr. Chih is a pediatric cardiologist and an attending physician at Taiji Clinic. With extensive training in pediatric cardiology and echocardiography, she has long been involved in prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease, parental counseling, and the transition from prenatal diagnosis to postnatal cardiac care.
The fetal heart remains one of the most challenging areas of obstetric ultrasound.
But I have always believed:
The more difficult something is, the more important it is to break it down into steps that can be practiced repeatedly.
In this session, we will use the OPUS simulation system.
Participants will scan by themselves, find the planes themselves, make mistakes themselves — and try again.
The greatest value of simulation is not to replace real patients.
It is to give us a place where we can make our mistakes before we examine them.
Mission 2 | PAS: Not Just “Is It There?” but “Where Is It, and How Far Does It Go?”
Our second faculty member comes from Thailand.
Dr. Savitree Pranpanus is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, and Head of the PSU PAS Center. Her clinical and academic work has focused extensively on Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS), including diagnosis, research, multidisciplinary management, and professional education.
She also serves as Chair of the Professional Standards Committee of the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
I specifically invited Dr. Pranpanus to Taiwan because PAS is an excellent example of how we should rethink the role of ultrasound.
We should not stop at asking:
Is it PAS?
We should go further:
Where is it?
How extensive is it?
What does the surgeon need to know before entering the operating room?
Using the Samsung Z20 and 5D Viewer, Dr. Pranpanus will guide participants through PAS imaging, 3D volume acquisition, rendering techniques, and case-based analysis.
This is the transition I find particularly exciting:
from ultrasound as a diagnostic tool to ultrasound as a clinical decision-making tool.
Mission 3 | Fetal Neurosonography: How Does an Expert Look at the Fetal Brain?
Our third faculty member is Dr. Vo Ta Son from Vietnam.
Dr. Son is a fetal medicine specialist at Vinmec Times City International Hospital in Hanoi, with 13 years of experience in obstetrics and prenatal ultrasound.
He has undertaken extensive international training in fetal medicine, fetal neurosonography, and fetal echocardiography.
And there is something particularly interesting about him.
At the 2025 FMF World Congress on Fetal Medicine in Prague, he won First Prize in the Fetal Neurosonography Competition.
So I thought:
If we are bringing an expert to Taiwan, why ask him only to give a lecture?
Let us watch how his hands actually work.
This mission will focus on systematic fetal neurosonography, standard planes, scanning techniques, and case-based interpretation, using the GE E10 and 4D View.
There is something fascinating about fetal brain ultrasound.
Two people can look at the same fetal brain.
One sees, “It looks normal.”
The other sees anatomy.
The difference is training.
Mission 4 | From PAS Diagnosis to Surgical Mapping
Our final faculty member comes from Indonesia.
Dr. Rozi Aditya Aryananda is a maternal-fetal medicine specialist affiliated with Universitas Airlangga and Dr. Soetomo Academic General Hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia. His academic experience also includes research collaboration with Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
What particularly interests me about his work is the way he approaches PAS.
Not simply as a diagnosis, but as a bridge between prenatal imaging and surgical anatomy.
In other words:
Can ultrasound create a map for the surgical team before the operation begins?
Using Samsung 5D Viewer and GE 4D View, this session will explore image post-processing, PAS lesion mapping, surgical risk assessment, and preoperative planning.
I believe this represents an important direction for the future of medical imaging.
Imaging should not end when the examination is finished and the report is written.
Good imaging should change what happens next.
Why Taiji Academy?
I founded Taiji Clinic in 2008.
Over the years, we have performed a large number of fetal ultrasound examinations and accumulated an extensive collection of clinical cases and experience.
In 2019, I founded the Taiwan Institute of Fetal Medicine (TIFM) to further develop fetal medicine education, professional training, clinical research, and international collaboration.
But the longer I work in this field, the more I realize that having many cases is not the most important thing.
The real question is:
Can what we have learned be passed on?
A good doctor can care for many patients.
A good teacher can train many good doctors.
And a good educational platform may allow this process to continue for ten years, twenty years, or even longer.
That is why Taiji Academy is more than another course organized by Taiji.
I hope it can gradually become an educational platform for fetal medicine in Asia.
Starting from Taiwan.
Connecting colleagues from Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and eventually many more countries.
What we want to share is not only knowledge.
We want to share:
How we scan.
How we think.
How we make decisions.
On November 20, We Start with 32 People
Taiji Academy does not need to begin with hundreds of participants.
I would rather start small.
32 participants.
Eight people in each group.
Four faculty members from Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Four missions.
Five and a half hours.
And one principle:
Learn by doing.

A major focus of his clinical and academic work is placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), particularly prenatal ultrasound assessment, prediction of surgical complexity, and strategies for conservative uterine surgery. He has contributed to international publications examining how transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound findings can guide the clinical management of PAS and how surgical-vascular control techniques can be applied in selected cases. His work highlights an important evolution in PAS imaging: moving from simply establishing the diagnosis toward identifying the location and extent of invasion, anticipating surgical risk, and creating a useful preoperative map for the surgical team. In this workshop, Dr. Aryananda will demonstrate post-processing approaches using Samsung 5D Viewer and GE 4D View for PAS lesion mapping, surgical risk assessment, and case-based preoperative planning.
