Research work papers are divided into the following modules according to the type of paper.

(1) Medical Engineering Technology

Medical engineering technology is a new science that uses engineering theories and methods to solve practical problems in medicine with wide scientific scope, so this column includes a wide range of content, i.e. the theory, technology, methods of clinical medical engineering and medical equipment quality control, measurement and other related innovative papers. Such as the composition principle of modern advanced medical equipment, performance characteristics, application function development, safe use of medical equipment and computer system technology, medical equipment modification, in-use medical equipment maintenance technology, medical new technology innovation and gizmos; experience in quality control and measurement of medical equipment and consumables, as well as problems and suggestions in quality control and measurement management, content and methods of testing; the statistics, investigation and analysis of adverse medical events caused by the quality or function failure of medical devices. The papers shall be innovative and practical, and shall comply with relevant state regulations. This column requires clear discussion, highlighting technical characteristics, academic, innovative and practical.

(2) Digitalized Hospital Management

This column publishes the creation, development, application, upgrade and maintenance technology of computer software and hardware in hospital digital management, as well as the innovative experience of scientific management technology and operation method of medical equipment and medical consumables, including the functional development technology of hospital HIS, RIS, PACS, LIS and modern digital medical equipment; and medical equipment purchase selection, installation testing, in-use equipment management, use efficiency research, application effect analysis and economic benefit analysis, scrap system and scrap treatment and other aspects of management innovation papers. The paper in this column should be the author’s own practical work and technical experience, which is required to be innovative, novel, practical and scientific, rather than a general theoretical introduction, work narrative or work summary.

(3) Scientific Management

This column intends to publish the scientific management methods of medical equipment in hospitals, including the application of some of the latest management methods, the procurement of medical equipment (consumables), the use of medical equipment (consumables), the storage, benefit analysis, adverse event reporting, preventive maintenance, and the retirement of medical device. Topics related to medical device management can be included in this column.

(4) Clinical Imaging Technology

The papers included in this column mainly focus on the innovation of imaging technology, the improvement of image quality, the design of imaging parameters, etc., with emphasis on technical innovation and improvement (papers that only focus on clinical diagnosis are not accepted). This column requires the paper to be innovative, advanced, novel, practical and repeatable experimental technology. Emphasis should be placed on the application of medical imaging equipment and related imaging technology.

(5) Translational medicine

This column requires to highlight the application of new technologies and new methods in basic medicine, pharmacy, computer information technology and other fields in clinical medicine, preventive medicine and military medicine, including but not limited to: the development of current basic medicine and clinical technology, the theory of translational medicine construction under new conditions, the development trends, new technologies and new methods of translational medicine at home and abroad; integration of basic and clinical and preventive transformation; clinical integration with rehabilitation and prevention transformation; integration of pharmacy and clinical and preventive transformation; the mutual transformation and integration of TCM and Western medicine. Emphasis is placed on the transformation and application of new theories, technologies and methods of medical equipment in the field of clinical medicine.

3. Review

In this column, the author should consult a considerable number of domestic and foreign references of the subject (mainly literatures in the past 3 to 5 years), select relevant development information after analysis and research, summarize and sort out, and write a comprehensive paper. The paper should reflect the new progress of the subject, and summarize and look forward to the progress of the field. The types of papers mainly include: a certain field of medical engineering, a certain type of medical equipment, medical new technology, medical computer technology and so on. The paper in this column is required to be advanced, forward-looking and leading, with clear views, reliable data and technical methods, and all sources are noted. It is required to cite more than 30 domestic and foreign references, of which more than 1/3 are references in the past 3 years.
