Chapter 68 Antiques
"It can't be Huntington." Compared to Feng Ming's disobedience and nervousness, Qin's mother, who stood behind him, was much calmer. "I have heard of this disease, but no relative in our family has this disease."
The diagnosis of Huntington's disease is actually very simple. There is only one core question - whether there is a family history. Considering that the symptoms of Huntington's disease are too obvious and the onset lasts more than 10 years. If any relative shows the characteristics of Huntington's disease, the probability that other relatives know nothing about it is basically zero.
If that relative suddenly started to shook his hands, stomped his feet, turned his head, and was starved to death after more than ten years of shook, you would definitely notice it.
Xu Yourong was silent, and she suddenly said to Sun Lien, "System lupus erythematosus may also cause neo-striatal damage..."
"The fourth rare symptoms that may be caused by lupus?" Sun Lien shook his head gently, "This cannot be lupus."
Huntington's disease will not cause transient ischemia, which is Sun Lien's greatest source of confidence. "If the middle cerebral artery is blocked, it may lead to neo-striatal ischemia." Sun Lien comforted Feng Ming, and was also comforting himself. "No matter what, I'd better do an MRI to confirm the brain condition first." He turned to Xu Yourong and said, "Director Liu is in the hospital today?"
"Teacher Liu has a meeting in the morning. He should be here around 10 o'clock." Xu Yourong thought for a while and replied in a low voice, "Do I need to contact Teacher Liu now?"
"Let's talk about it when the result comes out." Sun Lien and his few people out of the conference room. In order to facilitate communication, Feng Ming and Qin's father and mother both went to the small conference room together. "Second, take Xiaoya to the flatbed."
Feng Ming carefully picked up his girlfriend from the rescue bed, his movements were gentle and cautious, as if he was holding a delicate and fragile work of art.
Qin's father and mother stood beside him, watching Feng Ming's actions, and the two wiped their tears together.
My daughter's life, which should have been happy, suddenly suffered a stir. When her parents' nature is in her eyes, she feels in her heart. She is afraid that she can't help but suffer for her daughter.
Qin Ya, under the influence of stability and sedation, was placed on the mobile flatbed. Sun Lien and Xu Yourong followed the bed together, watching Feng Ming push the flatbed into the waiting room of the imaging department.
"Are you still on duty?" Luo Ge from the Imaging Department saw Sun Lien and came over with a smile. "How is Kobayashi Kaoru?"
"Confirmed, hyperthyroidism." Sun Lien nodded to Luo Ge, "I'm already taking the medicine and my condition is stable."
Brother Luo looked at Qin Ya on the flat bed and Feng Ming who was pushing the bed. He looked around at the crowd waiting for the hospital and asked in a low voice, "Is this... your acquaintance?"
It’s not a big deal that Luo Ge suddenly asked this question. Generally speaking, as long as he is not a critically ill patient with poor vital signs, the doctor will generally not follow the patient to the imaging department. Although Qin Ya was lying on the flatbed, there was no cardiopulmonary monitor next to the bed, and no oxygen bag was placed on the bed. At a glance, she knew that she was different from Lin Lan who came to scan yesterday, so she had this question.
"She is my brother's fiancée." Sun Lien replied, "Come and do a complete MRI scan of the head."
"What's the problem?" Brother Luo looked up and down at the patient's condition, then looked at Feng Ming and Qin's father and mother who were pushing the bed and waiting to call the phone. "Are you very anxious?"
"The most urgent problem is that we don't know what's wrong with her." Sun Lien sighed, "It may be lupus erythematosus, or it may be neostrial lesions..."
Brother Luo raised his eyebrows, looked at Chimelong, who was waiting for the number queue in the outpatient clinic, looked at him again and whispered, "Come with me."
There are three MRIs in the Imaging Department of the Fourth Central Hospital, and the two latest MRIs are placed in the outpatient clinic. The third one is an antique product that was originally affiliated to the Ningyuan Medical College Affiliated Hospital, but was later eliminated after the equipment of the affiliated hospital was updated. It has basically retired from active service and has been converted into a backup machine and teaching practice equipment.
Unlike the new NMR machines today, the average barrier-free running time of the old NMR machines is only one-third of that of the new one. Moreover, the compressor, one of the core components of the machine, has a very short life. Generally, outpatient clinics will not let this old antique take advantage of its residual heat - mainly because they are afraid that when the old thing suddenly strikes and scares the patient when the inspection is halfway through.
This "training" phone just replaced the new compressor yesterday and just completed the recalibration and commissioning. It was the best time. Luo Ge planned to sell Sun Lien to a favor - he didn't have to queue up when using the old machine, and the current condition is right, which is just right for Qin Ya's situation.
Following Luo Ge to the imaging room, Sun Lien looked at the machine that looked a little tired, and immediately understood Luo Ge's meaning.
"I'm really trouble you." Qin Ya is the only patient on hand who needs to be diagnosed, and she is the girlfriend of a good brother in college. For reason, Sun Lien has to wait by the side. However, it's a waste of time to wait in the waiting area. If you really want to do this, it's better to simply go back to the rescue room to see if there are other patients.
After entering the MRI room with Feng Ming, Sun Lien looked at the old antique placed in the room, and was startled by the nameplate on it.
Anke ASP-015, manufactured in February 1990.
This MRI is actually three years older than Sun Lien!
"Is this..." Xu Yourong's reaction was even bigger than Sun Lien, "Is it the first domestic MRI device?"
"That's right. It's this old antique." Brother Luo smiled apologetically, "Although he is an old guy, he just finished maintenance yesterday. Now it's in excellent condition, so it's absolutely fine to use it for a diagnosis..." He paused and continued, "How about doing a full-body scan? Anyway, interns have not been arranged to come for internships today. The machine is also placed."
Whole-body MRI is a very time-consuming examination item. Patients need to lie in the machine for five or six hours before completing a full-body scan. Although whole-body scans are easier to detect certain problems similar to early cancers, this kind of examination method is an unwarranted waste for medical resources. A patient occupies a machine for up to five or six hours, which means that many other patients who urgently need MRI will be forced to wait, and may even delay the treatment opportunity.
But an antique MRI machine used to practice has no such concerns. Sun Lien agreed to Luo Ge's suggestion without any hesitation, "Starting from the head, you can scan as much as you can."
