The Nuclear Medicine Department of the Second Hospital of Shandong University was formerly known as the Department of Nuclear Medicine of Shandong Medical College. It was founded in 1958. It is one of the earliest units in China to carry out nuclear medicine imaging and treatment. It has undertaken nuclear medicine teaching and postgraduate teaching works of Shandong Medical College since 1959. It has leaded the compiling of the state-compiled textbook “Nuclear Medicine” (1-4 Editions) of the Ministry of Health. At the same time, it has undertaken the training of nuclear medicine doctors, technicians, and nursing professionals nationwide. It has a certain reputation nationwide and has made outstanding contributions to the development of nuclear medicine in China. Since 1999, it has been incorporated into the Second Hospital of Shandong University. Currently, the Nuclear Medicine Department has 12 medical professionals of various types, including one chief physician and professor, one associate chief physician and associate professor, one with a doctoral degree, 7 with a master’s degree, three chief physicians,three attending doctors,three resident doctors, three supervising nurses and one supervising technician.Among them, there is one with the doctoral degree, and seven with the master’s degree. In 2009, the Nuclear Medicine Department began to work in a new workplace. It is located, namely, on the second floor of the north wing of Jizhong Building. It is about 800 square meters and has a standard radionuclide treatment ward. The nuclear medicine discipline now provides advanced technical support for patient diagnosis and treatment and hospital development with a new look.

Nuclear medicine is a frontier clinical discipline that uses open radionuclides to diagnose and treat diseases. It, and the Nuclear Medicine Department is composed of professionals with experience in medical imaging and clinical medicine diagnosis and treatment, which can be reckoned as. It is one of the important signs of hospital modernization. The Nuclear Medicine Department is equipped with GE Discovery NM670 Pro SPECT/CT, anultra-premuimn nuclear medicine device, and oneSIEMENS dual-probe ECT, a largeand advanced imported device, which can perform functional imaging examination of different organs throughout the body, with particularly wide application in the whole body bone imaging, renal dynamic imaging, thyroid imaging, parathyroid imaging, cerebral blood perfusion imaging, hepatobiliary dynamic imaging and myocardial blood perfusion imaging. Since 1959, the Nuclear Medicine Department took the lead in the treatment of hyperthyroidism with 131I in Shandong Province, and has treated more than 20,000 people with hyperthyroidism. It has used 131I to treat nearly 10,000 patients with postoperative metastasis of thyroid cancer, which has a wide-ranging impact in Shandong Province. At the same time, it has carried out 153Sm-EDTMP and 89Sr treatment of bone metastases since 1993. In recent years, this discipline has highlighted the research and diagnosis and treatment directions characterized by nuclide diagnosis of tumors, as well as nuclide treatments of various diseases. At present, it has completed 4 national, provincial and ministerial-level projects, and won 1 FourthShandong Youth Science and Technology Awardat the fourth session, 7 Shandong Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards. It has published 8books andmore than 30 papers in journals including the publications of the Chinese Medical Association, of which more than 10 have been included in PubMed and SCI.
