description Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a treasure of the Chinese nation, providing effective solutions to current medical requisites. Various spectral techniques are undergoing continuous development and provide new and reliable means for evaluating the efficacy and quality of TCM. Because spectral techniques are noninvasive, convenient, and sensitive, they have been widely applied to in vitro and in vivo TCM evaluation systems. In this paper, previous achievements and current progress in the research on spectral technologies (including fluorescence spectroscopy, photoacoustic imaging, infrared thermal imaging, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy) are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of each technology are also presented. Moreover, the future applications of spectral imaging to identify the origins, components, and pesticide residues of TCM in vitro are elucidated. Subsequently, the evaluation of the efficacy of TCM in vivo is presented. Identifying future applications of spectral imaging is anticipated to promote medical research as well as scientific and technological explorations.
