Summary

The revision of Nuclear Medicine (2nd Edition) carries forward the guiding philosophy of the previous edition. While adhering to the principles of the "three basics" and "five emphases," it stresses clinical thinking, clinical practice skills, and problem-solving ability. At the same time, in line with the discipline's characteristics, it seeks innovation, highlights routine clinical practice, and emphasizes continuity—building on undergraduate education and leading into continuing education for specialists—with particular emphasis on standardizing nuclear medicine technical procedures and guideline-based clinical application.

Editor's review

As a national planning textbook for the 14th Five-Year Plan published by People's Medical Publishing House, Nuclear Medicine (2nd Edition), under the chief editorship of Professor Huang Gang, systematically constructs the knowledge system of nuclear medicine. The book not only covers core theory—nuclear physics fundamentals, radiopharmaceuticals, and radiation protection and safety—but also, through its two major parts on imaging diagnosis and radionuclide therapy, clearly and accessibly explains the clinical value of nuclear technology. Compared with the previous edition, the 2nd Edition has been updated to keep pace with the times, particularly strengthening the integration of molecular imaging and precision medicine and reflecting the frontier dynamics of the discipline.

From a professional editorial perspective, the book is clearly organized, richly illustrated, and moderate in difficulty, making it highly suitable as a core textbook for undergraduate medical students and a practical reference for standardized residency training and nuclear medicine professionals. Its value lies in successfully combining abstract nuclear physics principles with vivid clinical cases, enabling readers to deeply understand the unique advantages and implementation essentials of radionuclides in disease diagnosis (such as PET/CT tumor imaging and myocardial perfusion imaging) and treatment (such as iodine-131 therapy for hyperthyroidism and radionuclide-targeted therapy). The emphasis on quality control and radiation safety also reflects a rigorous disciplinary attitude and humanistic care.

For readers who wish to systematically grasp the full picture of nuclear medicine or need quick access to relevant knowledge in clinical practice, this book provides a reliable and comprehensive knowledge framework. It is not an abstruse monograph but an excellent ladder guiding readers into the field of nuclear medicine.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Undergraduate and graduate students in medical imaging, nuclear medicine, and related specialties
  • Clinicians undergoing standardized residency training, especially those in imaging and nuclear medicine departments
  • Clinical practitioners seeking to systematically update their nuclear medicine knowledge and learn about frontier advances
  • Researchers interested in interdisciplinary fields such as molecular imaging and precision medicine

Not a good fit for

  • General readers seeking only popular science reading without relevant medical or STEM background
  • Clinicians seeking quick access to imaging interpretation techniques for a specific disease rather than systematic theory

Reading tips

  1. Read in textbook chapter order: first consolidate the foundations of nuclear physics and radiopharmaceuticals, then proceed to the sections on diagnosis and treatment
  2. Learn in conjunction with the book's figures and examples, especially the schematic diagrams of imaging principles and typical case images
  3. Use the review questions at the end of each chapter for self-assessment of mastery of core concepts

李亚明 Author

Public information about Li Yaming is limited, and what is available is not enough to sketch a full biography. Judging from the five works held in the collection, his writing and editing span three fields—social culture, medicine and architecture—showing notably wide interests. A History of Psychiatry: From the Asylum to Prozac reflects an attention to the historical development and social context of psychiatry, while Nuclear Medicine (2nd Edition) and Analysis of Difficult Clinical Cases in Nuclear Medicine lean toward professional organization of clinical medicine, the latter using difficult cases as its thread and emphasizing practical analysis. Lymphoma PET.CT Imaging focuses on the specialized area of diagnostic imaging. On the architectural side, Design of Large-Span Glulam Grid (Shell) Structures deals with timber-structure design and engineering calculation. Overall, his works are largely professional and reference-oriented compilations aimed at readers in medicine and architecture, broad in subject matter with distinct emphases.

李方 Author

Li Fang is an author in the field of medicine. Publicly available information about this author is limited, and details such as a full biography, nationality, and dates of birth and death cannot currently be confirmed. Judging from the two works held in the collection, Li Fang's writing focuses on nuclear medicine and medical imaging diagnosis, with representative titles including PET.CT Difficult Cases in Detail (2nd Edition) and Nuclear Medicine (2nd Edition). These are professional medical books intended for clinicians, practitioners in imaging and nuclear medicine, and medical students. They emphasize the analysis and interpretation of difficult cases and stress practical, clinical reference value. The fact that these titles have appeared in second editions also suggests continued demand among professional readers. Overall, Li Fang's work consists mainly of specialized textbooks and case-analysis writing, characterized by a rigorous and practice-oriented style, and is suitable for readers seeking a deeper understanding of nuclear medicine and the application of PET.CT.
