Features: Medical imaging is one of the fastest-developing fields in recent years. Currently, the development of high technologies such as computers is directly applied to or indirectly integrated into medical imaging, making it an essential pillar in medical work. Medical imaging diagnosis has evolved from displaying macroscopic structures to reflecting changes at the molecular and biochemical levels; from showing morphological changes to reflecting functional changes; and from purely diagnostic purposes to therapeutic applications. This book is divided into ten chapters. The first chapter, a general introduction, focuses on medical imaging equipment, including X-ray, DSA, CT, MRI, and USG, and provides an overview of PACS. The purpose is to help students understand the functions of these imaging devices and how to reasonably select them in clinical practice. Chapters two to nine are organized by diseases, with a focus on introducing the imaging manifestations of common diseases, enabling students to master their imaging diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and the clinical value and limitations of various imaging devices. The tenth chapter introduces interventional radiology, with a focus on interventional methods, which provides students with ample space for reflection. We pay special attention to the selection of images in the book because when it comes to morphology, seeing is believing.
