Is it not?
fMRI is also a magnetic resonance examination. It is an examination done using magnetic resonance. It uses the same magnetic resonance machine as other magnetic resonance projects. The only difference is that it monitors the patient's brain functional activity rather than simply scanning and analyzing brain structure like an MRI examination.
To monitor brain functional activity, it is necessary to "stimulate" the human brain to induce brain activity. Such examinations are actually quite common in neurosurgery examinations. For example, many of the neurosurgery examinations we mentioned before require stimulating the human body to produce specific reflexes.
Dr. Tang and the others are top tertiary neurosurgeons, so it is impossible that they do not understand the principles of these neurosurgical examination items. Therefore, Dr. Tang and the others thought it was outrageous for Mr. Xie to question their imbecility.
"It's definitely not a direct scan." Dr. Tang and others said.
"That's right." Without thinking, classmate Xie Wanying said next, "I know it's impossible for you to do this."
You know it's impossible why are you asking us this?
Just when these people were about to be so angry with her, they suddenly heard someone laughing.
Seeing that it was the two young doctors from the Chinese Association who came with Xie, they couldn't help but smile. Cao Yong must be relatively calm and won't laugh out loud on other people's territory, but he still has a smile in his eyes.
In fact, they were definitely not laughing at whether they were incompetent, but they were laughing at their classmates' stubborn speaking style, which really sounded like a boss. No wonder these people didn't hear it at first, wondering how a medical student could have such a bossy style.
The boss sometimes talks like a teacher in the classroom. He loves to guide and lead, with a touch of Mr. Zhang's "poisonous style" that hits the nail on the head.
Knowing that you can't do this, but saying that what you did is not right, what's going on? Oh, it means that it is not done accurately and the inspection is wasted.
You want to give a "stimulus" to the patient's brain to induce brain activity. What method do you use?
Don’t think that when it’s not surgery on the brain, the type of “stimulation” given to the brain by the outside world doesn’t matter. Any one will do.
For example, Xie used to perform brain stimulation on sick musician patients. After careful analysis and judgment, he not only used the music that the patient was most familiar with, but also carefully selected music.
For the patient in front of them, what Xie and the others could read from the examination report was that the stimulation method was not right.
Dr. Tang and the others were sweating profusely.
It can be seen that they have never considered this issue.
You are talking about this vegetative state. No matter what stimulation method is used, as long as it can determine whether there is brain activity, it is okay, right?
Xie spoke plainly to the other party: "This is the first time I read a patient report. Dr. Tang, you can feel that this patient can be awakened. Under such conditions, it is of little significance to do basic examinations." of."
Doctors can feel that the patient is in a slightly conscious state during clinical examination. It would be a waste to simply check and confirm this during functional magnetic resonance examination. If you, Dr. Tang, have been thinking about how to wake up the patient, you should consider checking which part of the patient's brain has a problem with the neural network connection.
Just like brain tumor removal for parenchymal brain lesions, the key point in neurosurgery is always positioning. Only by using functional magnetic resonance imaging to detect network problems in the brain without parenchymal brain lesions can the site of surgery be determined.
Thank you for your support! ! ! Good night, everyone~ I have something else to do today. I’m late, so I can only update four times. I’m sorry.
