Features: Medical imaging technology is closely related to clinical medical treatment. Without proficient mastery of imaging techniques, it is impossible to obtain clear, diagnostic-quality images, let alone provide assistance in clinical medical treatment. Since the late 20th century, imaging technology has entered the digital era, with new equipment and technologies constantly emerging, such as CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography), US (Ultrasound), PET (Positron Emission Tomography), 3D image reconstruction, and image fusion. The application of these new equipment and technologies in clinical practice has significantly advanced the level of clinical medical treatment. However, in the current book market, there are few books available on clinical imaging technology, and some of those that exist are somewhat outdated. Therefore, to meet the urgent need for understanding modern imaging technology, we have invited experts with extensive clinical experience to write this book, "Clinical Imaging Technology." It is hoped that this book will provide a valuable reference for medical imaging professionals and also serve as a suitable textbook for students in universities and colleges. The authors of this book have referred to a large number of domestic and international latest literatures and combined their rich clinical experience to compile it. This book has the following two characteristics: First, it presents up-to-date content, introducing technologies rarely seen in China, such as DR (Direct Digital X-ray Photography), CR (Computed Radiography), virtual endoscopy, 3D ultrasound, and image fusion, enabling readers to understand the world's most advanced imaging technology and feel refreshed. Second, it is highly practical. The book is well-structured and clearly organized, providing detailed descriptions of every step of equipment operation, including how to select layers, how to choose scanning parameters, and the imaging findings of each scanned layer. Based on the summary of long-term clinical experience, it also offers corresponding solutions to potential difficult problems, as if a good teacher is guiding the reader step by step, ensuring quality in clinical operations. Due to the hasty compilation of this book, errors may inevitably occur. We sincerely hope readers will provide valuable feedback, and we will correct these mistakes in future editions.
