Features: The main purpose of this textbook is to teach students how to master the imaging diagnosis of common diseases in various systems. To highlight the teaching characteristics of vocational and technical colleges, the focus of writing is slightly different from that of undergraduate textbooks. It emphasizes basic imaging diagnosis knowledge, while the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, and pathological anatomy of diseases are not the main focus. The imaging manifestations of diseases mainly include conventional X-ray (including angiography), ultrasound, and CT. MRI is not a focus, but diseases where MRI is used as the primary diagnostic basis are described in detail. To help students better grasp the key content, this book includes a section on diagnostic highlights, summarizing the imaging manifestations of the disease into several key points and listing them separately. Another difference from the conventional imaging diagnosis content in vocational and technical colleges is that since the imaging technology program has separate courses on imaging principles, imaging equipment, and imaging technology, this textbook does not repeat the above content but focuses on teaching imaging diagnosis. The entire book consists of 12 chapters, divided according to anatomical regions. Regarding the selection of specific diseases, based on reference to multiple textbooks, clinicalcommon diseases were primarily selected in line with the characteristics of vocational and technical colleges and the imaging technology program. To highlight the teaching characteristics of imaging and cultivate students' practical film-reading skills, almost every disease is accompanied by corresponding images to facilitate understanding and memory.
