Features: This book is organized by system and adopts a combination of system and technology in its writing. The entire book is divided into 13 volumes: General Theory Volume, Respiratory System Volume, Central Nervous System Volume, Cardiovascular System Volume, Digestive System Volume, Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas, and Spleen Volume, Head and Neck Volume, Musculoskeletal System Volume, Urogenital System Volume, Breast Volume, Interventional Radiology Volume, Nuclear Medicine Imaging Volume, and Ultrasound Diagnostics Volume. Each volume is published independently and released. The guiding principle for the composition of the writing team is to unite the nation's strengths, combining scholars of all ages to collaboratively write the book. Therefore, all invited contributors to this book are highly academic-level experts and scholars with a certain reputation in specific fields of imaging medicine. This book primarily reflects the new level of contemporary imaging development. For various imaging technologies, examination methods, new signs, new theories, and new treatment methods that have been or will be used in clinical practice, it provides a relatively detailed introduction based primarily on domestic data. For some technologies and methods that have been phased out or are about to be discontinued, they are only briefly described as a stage in the long history of development. When describing the imaging manifestations of diseases, attention is paid to the relationship between commonality and individuality, so that readers can correctly grasp the general imaging patterns of diseases. Based on common and frequently occurring diseases, the book also provides concise and brief descriptions of rare and uncommon diseases, hoping that it will not only serve as a standardized reading material for imaging medicine but also function as an imaging dictionary, achieving the purpose of practicality. The book strives for concise, brief, fluent text with a rational hierarchical structure, logicality, and coherence. Nomenclature and terminology are strictly standardized to ensure consistency throughout the book, avoiding colloquial language to enhance readability.
