Features: Diagnostics is a discipline that studies the fundamental theories, methods, and skills of clinical diagnosis and the scientific thinking process for understanding diseases. It is built upon the foundation of basic medical sciences, modern technology, and clinical practical experience, serving as a clinical basic course. It acts as a bridge for medical students transitioning from basic medical studies to clinical medicine. It is also a set of essential theoretical knowledge, basic techniques, and methods that an outstanding clinician must master. Therefore, diagnostics is one of the important disciplines in medical education. With the reform of the medical education system, the transformation of teaching models and medical models, as well as the advancement of science and technology, new diagnostic methods and testing techniques continue to emerge, constantly enriching and updating the content of diagnostics. To adapt to these changes, we have organized a group of experts with rich clinical and teaching experience to compile this book. The book is divided into 8 parts: Common Symptoms, History Taking, Physical Diagnosis, Laboratory Diagnosis, Imaging Diagnosis, Instrumental Examination, Clinical Common Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques, and Diagnostic Methods and Medical Record Writing. Emphasizing practicality, advancement, and standardization, our guiding principle is to make the book clear, concise, and focused on key points to suit student learning. This book is particularly suitable for adult medical education programs such as medical specialty colleges, night schools, correspondence courses, and distance education.
