Chapter 764: It Was A Knock-Knock Test

“h.e.l.lo, Chief Qi.” Su Yun and Han Tianjiao stood at attention at the same time and greeted him respectfully.
“Xiao Han, who’s doing the ultrasound?” Chief Qi glanced at Su Yun. He didn’t know who he was, so he ignored him and asked Han Tianjiao directly.
“It’s Doctor Su’s boss. He’s here to perform an ultrasound on an acquaintance,” Han Tianjiao said.
It was a common thing to bring people to see patients in the hospital. If it was during the day, he would still care about the feelings of the other patients. It was already very polite not to cut the queue.
It was already late at night. There were no patients waiting in line. They were just using the machine. If it was a pretentious chief, he would repeat the cost issue repeatedly to show his dignity. However, Chief Qi was obviously not such a person. He did not care about such things at all.
Chief Qi was concerned about the cholesterol granuloma in the patient’s chest.
The diagnosis of cholesterol granuloma was not made casually. This was because it was very difficult to distinguish benign and malignant adenoma from granuloma with a B-scan.
The best way was to send it for a pathological biopsy, and not to determine that it was a cholesterol granuloma in the chest just by doing a B-scan.
This was simply too imprecise.
“Which department?” Chief Qi asked.
“The interventional department.” Su Yun bowed slightly. The usually sharp and mean smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a gentle and humble expression.
Chief Qi’s first impression of Su Yun was quite good, especially this att.i.tude, which made people unable to hate him.
“The interventional department? Under Chief Kong? Or is Old Kong back?” Chief Qi’s head was full of question marks.
“It’s not Department Chief Kong, it’s Zheng Ren, Boss Zheng.” Su Yun smiled. He looked gentle but in fact, he was very tough.
Chief Qi felt that something was not right. He frowned and asked, “Boss Zheng… Hmm? Is he the n.o.bel Prize candidate that Old Kong mentioned?”
“Yes.” Su Yun’s smile did not change.
As he spoke, Zheng Ren came out from inside. As he walked, he said, “It’s cholesterol granuloma but I suggest that we do a biopsy first and wait for the pathology to come out. If you want to have surgery, you can do it in the outpatient clinic. If you don’t want to do it, it’s okay.”
“Boss Zheng?” Chief Qi looked at Zheng Ren and did not dare to admit it. He asked tentatively.
“You are…” Zheng Ren immediately stopped. His first impression was that it was Chief Qi.
“This is Chief Qi from the ultrasound department.” Su Yun introduced him again. “This is my boss, Zheng Ren.”
“Boss Zheng, I’ve long heard of your name. Old Kong is grinding my ears to a pulp.” Chief Qi smiled and reached out his hand.
Zheng Ren quickly reached out his hands and shook Chief Qi’s.
“You flatter me.” Zheng Ren quickly said.
Zhou Jinxi and Wu Xiaomei pa.s.sed through the gap between people. Their curvy bodies became the biggest obstacle at this moment.
Chief Qi gave way, and a few people followed behind him. Chief Qi was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he looked at Zheng Ren and asked, “Boss Zheng, just by using the ultrasound, you can determine that it’s cholesterol granuloma in the chest? Is it obvious?”
This question… Zheng Ren felt a trace of murderous intent.
Just by using the ultrasound, Zheng Ren could only determine it with a 60% probability. However, Zheng Ren had obtained a new unknown ability. As he performed the ultrasound, he restored the image in his mind to the original data and re-sketched it. However, this ability was very new so Zheng Ren was still uncertain.
However, comparing it with each other, it was much more certain than just a simple ultrasound diagnosis.
Various conventional imaging examinations had their own characteristics.
X-rays were highly penetrating rays that could ‘see’ though the human body.
The human body was like a piece of bread or cotton. The fiber texture inside could not be seen, but it would be clearer if you could press it with your hand. The biggest drawback of X-rays is that they wer subject to the overlapping and hiding of images of deep and shallow tissues, which sometimes required multiple x-rays taken from multiple angles.
CT was computed tomography, like the idea of slicing bread.
Ultrasound was examined using the principle that ultrasound produced an echo.
Ultrasound could travel in a certain direction and penetrate an object. If it hit an obstacle, it would produce an echo. This echo was collected and displayed on a screen by an instrument. It could be used to understand an object’s internal structure and to a.s.sist in diagnosis.
When picking a watermelon, they would knock on it first and listen to the sound.
As for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, they would shake it before looking at it
Each had its own advantages. Nuclear MRI was not better than CT. It was just that most primitive X-ray films had gradually faded from usage. Only very few diseases still required X-ray to be diagnosed.
After Zheng Ren obtained the b-mode ultrasound image and restored it, he found that he could sketch out the CT image.
But it was useless.
Breast CT? There was no such examination at all. As for why there was no such examination, it would take days to explain.
In the end, Zheng Ren converted the image data to a breast MRI. Although it was a little blurry, he managed to get the final conclusion.
Breast MRI had just entered the clinic for less than ten years and Zheng Ren had yet to see it with his own eyes. He had only seen the relevant information in the System library.
Zheng Ren was also very surprised that he could get a preliminary image of the breast. But who cared? As long as the diagnosis was clear, it was good.
The question that Chief Qi asked sounded like a discussion, but in fact, Chief Qi had dug a big hole.
Zheng Ren thought about it and felt that it was a long story. He smiled and said, “Chief Qi, you should see the patient first. I’ll report to you when you’re done.”
His words were very polite. Chief Qi was slightly stunned. Then, the way he looked at Zheng Ren changed slightly.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun came out, brushing past the patient and their family.
The patient was a little boy around ten years old. His mother held his hand and entered the ultrasound room.
Zheng Ren looked at the red background and diagnosis on the System panel, feeling a little down. At such a young age, he was already in the advanced stage of his cancer. It really made people sigh.
After he came out, Zheng Ren and Wu Xiaomei said, “You guys go back first. It’s best if you don’t eat or drink tomorrow morning. I saw that you were in Sorcery Capital during the preoperative examination. Tomorrow, we will look for an opportunity to do a biopsy. As for whether you want to remove it or not, it will depend on your own opinion.”
Wu Xiaomei was in a state of confusion. The more Doctor Zheng said, the more he seemed to be telling the truth.
However, weren’t things like these usually just dreams? Was it really reality?
“Zheng…”
“Xiaomei, the boss has already said it. Just follow what the boss says,” Su Yun said. “If there is a problem, we will do a pathology tomorrow and the truth will be revealed. You keep asking around but in the end, you’re still confused.”
Zheng Ren nudged Su Yun. Chang Yue glared at him, and Su Yun pursed his lips.
He had nothing to do with Wu Xiaomei, unlike Zheng Ren. At that time, he had performed a hernia repair operation on Wu Xiaomei’s father. It could be considered the relationship between a doctor and the patient’s family.
But he was right. There were some things that, no matter how many times he said it, were not as accurate as the gold standard of a pathology test.
