Abstract:
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe the contributions of Paul C. Hodges to the development of radiology in China. CONCLUSION. During his 8 years in China, Hodges made important contributions to improving radiologic diagnostics and developing radiation therapy. He added and improved radiographic equipment, established a standardized system for radiographic examinations, and successfully designed a simple, portable radiographic machine that could be used with the domestic power supply. He also started a radiology school, held a summer training class, and trained many Chinese radiology experts, which provided a solid talent and technology foundation for the early development of radiology in China. Because of his contributions, Hodges can be referred to as the founder of radiology in China.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
Language Development
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...
