Nuclear Medicine Department

The Department of Nuclear Medicine of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital was established in 1958. It is one of the first units in the country to carry out clinical nuclear medicine work. It is the birthplace of clinical nuclear medicine in Tianjin. It is now a national key clinical specialty and a key construction discipline of the "211 Project".

Nationally renowned nuclear medicine experts such as Lu Tizhang, Qu Wanying, Fang Peihua, Zheng Miaorong, Zhou Yinbao, and Tan Jian have emerged successively. The medical level and academic status of the discipline enjoy a high reputation in the country, and the treatment of thyroid diseases with 131I has reached the domestic advanced level.

The subject research directions include research on the pathogenesis of thyroid disease, application research of nuclear technology in clinical work, and research on radionuclide treatment.

It has reached the national advanced level in radionuclide treatment of thyroid diseases, radionuclide imaging, and nuclear endocrine molecular level research.

The department has a total area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters and is composed of nuclear medicine ward, SPECT examination room, functional examination room, color ultrasound room and molecular biology laboratory.

The department currently has 40 employees, including 19 doctors, 12 nursing staff, 9 technicians, and 12 people with senior professional titles, including 1 second-level professor, 2 doctoral supervisors, 4 master's supervisors, 1 second-level talent of the "131" innovative talent training project, 4 new century talents, and 3 young technical backbones.

The discipline now has 1 standing committee member of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, 1 deputy chairman of the Youth Committee, 1 study group leader, and more than 10 study group members.

There is one chairman of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Imaging Technology Research Association, one standing committee member of the Nuclear Medicine Physician Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and one standing committee member of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of the Chinese Nuclear Society.

The current department is the president unit of the Nuclear Medicine Physician Branch of the Tianjin Medical Doctor Association, the deputy chairman unit of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of the Tianjin Medical Association, and the chairman unit of the Tianjin Medical Imaging Technology Research Association.

The department plays a guiding role in the national nuclear medicine industry standardization work, which reflects the further improvement of the nuclide treatment level of this discipline.

The clinical medical work of the discipline has been recognized by hospital leaders and employees of the hospital. In 2015, the department won the honorary title of "Top Ten Departments" of the General Hospital.

Party branch secretary Jia Qiang and chief technician in 2012, 2013, and 2015.

Chief Physician Meng Zhaowei won the honor of "Top Ten Doctors" of the General Hospital in 2014.

Based on a strong group foundation, the discipline has hosted 5 national conferences (2013 National Academic Conference on Nuclear Medicine Technology, 2015-2018 Nuclear Medicine Summit Forum), 1 regional conference (2008 Nuclear Medicine Academic Conference of Five Provinces and Municipalities in North China), and more than 10 regional conferences. By holding conferences, it has not only trained the team, but also expanded the influence of the discipline and the hospital in the country.

In the 2015 national ranking of Fudan University's statistical discipline influence, this discipline still ranked 13th in the country and 4th in North China even without the disadvantages of PET-CT and in vitro analysis, which is enough to prove the super strength of the Department of Nuclear Medicine in nuclide therapy, SPECT/CT imaging and scientific research.
