Features: Clinical medicine eight-year program education is a new model for the development of long-term and high-level medical education in China, serving as an important pathway for cultivating talents with diverse needs. It represents a continuation and deepening of the seven-year clinical medicine program. The writing of the national clinical medicine eight-year program textbook on Nuclear Medicine is based on the relevant spirit of the Ministry of Education, aiming to cultivate high-quality, innovative senior clinical physicians. With the principle of "excellent product strategy, quality first," supported by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, and under the leadership of the National Higher Medical Education Textbook Construction Research Association and the Ministry of Health Textbook Office, this series of planned textbooks is one of the key textbooks for eight-year clinical medicine students.
This textbook not only emphasizes the fundamental theories, basic techniques, and clinical applications of nuclear medicine in various systems but also introduces recent advancements and cutting-edge research areas in nuclear medicine, highlighting the discipline's characteristics and development direction. It broadens students' horizons and enhances their innovative awareness. Molecular nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are hot topics of research both domestically and internationally. Although still in its early stages, it has demonstrated strong vitality. PET/CT is a significant milestone in the 21st-century development of nuclear medicine. The rapid growth of PET/CT in recent years indicates that nuclear medicine has entered the "PET" era and has become an important tool for molecular imaging research today. Molecular imaging in nuclear medicine has also become the most mature technology in the field. Additionally, this book further emphasizes the important role of nuclide therapy, increasing the content on therapeutic nuclear medicine to demonstrate that nuclear medicine is a discipline equally focused on both diagnosis and treatment.
This series of textbooks is the first long-term program textbook in the history of Chinese medical education. It is primarily intended for eight-year clinical medicine programs and is also suitable for seven-year programs. It can also serve as a reference for graduate students, resident physicians, and other related personnel.
