Features: This book is written by 7 academicians and more than 40 expert professors in this field. It consists of 26 chapters and approximately 900,000 words, systematically elaborating on the fundamental theories of molecular nuclear medicine, nuclide and non-nuclide labeled compounds, nuclide imaging agents, nuclear medicine instruments, ultra-trace analysis, autoradiography, cyclotrons in nuclear medicine, and the applications and development prospects of molecular nuclear medicine in basic medical research, traditional Chinese and Western medicine research and development, disease diagnosis and treatment, and more. It also includes 21 nuclear medicine experiments. Differences between the 2nd and editions: First, based on the progress over the past two years, some "sections" have been deepened and expanded into "chapters," such as "Report Gene Imaging and Its Application in Monitoring Gene Therapy"; new chapters have been added, such as "Cellomics and Virtual Cells" and "Enzyme Activity Determination Using Stable Nuclides." Second, new "experiments" have been added to provide hands-on opportunities for beginners. This book can be used as a textbook for medical schools, biology departments, life science schools, and nuclear medicine graduate students in other universities, as well as a reference for professionals in chemistry, pharmacy, biomedical engineering, nuclear physics, computer science, and accelerator fields.
