"It can't be Huntington. Compared to Feng Ming's gaffe and nervousness, Qin Mu, who was standing behind him, was much calmer. "I've heard about it, but none of our relatives in the family have had it. ”

The diagnosis of Huntington's disease is simple. There is only one central question – whether there is a family history. Consider that the symptoms of Huntington's disease are so obvious and that they have been around for more than 10 years. If one relative exhibits the characteristics of Huntington's disease, the chances of the other relatives not knowing about it are almost zero.

If only that relative suddenly began to convulse his hands, stomp his feet, and turn his head. After being dumped for more than ten years, you will definitely notice it.

Xu Yourong was silent, and she suddenly said to Sun Lien, "Systemic lupus erythematosus may also cause neostriatum damage......

"So, her lupus manifests itself as four extremely rare symptoms?" Sun Lien shook his head slightly, "This can't be lupus." ”

Huntington's disease does not cause a transient ischemic attack, which is Sun's biggest source of confidence. "If there is a blockage in the middle cerebral artery, it can lead to neostriatic ischemia. Sun Lien comforted Feng Ming, and at the same time, he was also comforting himself. "Anyway, let's do an MRI to check the brain first. He turned to Xu Yourong and said, "Dean Liu is in the courtyard today, right?"

"Mr. Liu has a meeting in the morning, and he should arrive around ten o'clock. Xu Yourong thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "Do you need to contact Teacher Liu now?"

"I'll wait until the results come out. Sun Lien took a few people out of the conference room, and in order to facilitate communication, Feng Ming and Qin's father and Qin's mother all went to the small conference room together. "Second child, you carry Xiaoya to the flat bed. ”

Feng Ming carefully picked up his girlfriend from the rescue bed, and his movements were gentle and cautious. It's like holding a delicate and fragile work of art.

Qin's father and Qin's mother stood beside him, watching Feng Ming's movements, and the two wiped their tears together.

The daughter's life that should have been happy suddenly suffered waves, and when the parents naturally saw it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts. I'm afraid that I can't wait to use myself to suffer for my daughter.

Qin Ya, who was under the effect of sedation, was placed on a mobile flat bed. Sun Lien and Xu Yourong followed the bedside together, watching Feng Ming push the flat bed into the waiting room of the imaging department.

"Are you still on duty?" Brother Luo from the imaging department saw Sun Lien and came over with a smile. "How's Kaoru Kobayashi?"

"Diagnosed, hyperthyroidism. Sun Lien nodded towards Brother Luo, "I'm already taking medication, and my condition is stable." ”

Brother Luo looked at Qin Ya on the flat bed, and Feng Ming who was pushing the bed, looked left and right at the crowd waiting around him, and then asked in a low voice, "Is this ...... Your acquaintance?"

It's no wonder that Brother Luo suddenly asked, generally speaking, as long as it is not a serious patient whose vital signs are not stable, the attending doctor will generally not follow the patient to the imaging department. Although Qin Ya was lying on a flat bed, there was no cardiopulmonary monitor next to the bed, and there was no oxygen bag on the bed. At a glance, I knew that she was different from Lin Lan who came to scan yesterday, and she had this question.

"She is my brother's fiancée. Sun Lien replied, "Let's do a full MRI scan of the skull." ”

"What's the problem?" Brother Luo looked up and down at the patient's situation, and then looked at Feng Ming and Qin's father and Qin's mother, who were pushing the bed and waiting for the call, "Are you in a hurry?"

"The most pressing problem is that we don't know what's wrong with her. Sun Lien sighed, "It may be lupus erythematosus, or it may be a neostriatal lesion......"

Brother Luo raised his eyebrows, looked at the long queue of people waiting for numbers in the outpatient clinic, looked at the side again, and after confirming that he didn't see the lively patients nearby, he whispered, "Follow me." ”

There are a total of three MRIs in the imaging department of the Fourth Central Hospital, and the latest two MRI machines are placed in the outpatient clinic. The third one was originally affiliated to the Affiliated Hospital of Ningyuan Medical College, and was later eliminated after the equipment of the affiliated hospital was updated. Basically, they have been retired from active service and turned into spare machines and teaching practice equipment.

Unlike today's new NMR machines, the average trouble-free run time of older NMR machines is only one-third of that of newer machines. And the compressor, which is one of the core components of the machine's operation, has an outrageously short life. Normally, the outpatient clinic will not let this old antique exert any more residual heat - mainly because it is afraid that in the middle of the examination, the old thing will suddenly strike and scare the patient.

This "hands-on" machine just finished replacing the new compressor yesterday and has just completed the recalibration and commissioning. It's the time to be at your best. Brother Luo plans to sell Sun Lien a favor - there is no need to queue up when using the old machine, and the current state is just right, which is just right for Qin Ya's situation.

followed Brother Luo to the video room, Sun Lien looked at the machine that was a little tired, and immediately understood what Brother Luo meant.

"That's a real bother. "Qin Ya is the only patient Sun Lien currently has on hand that needs to be diagnosed, and she is the girlfriend of her good brother in college. It is reasonable to be reasonable, Sun Lien has to wait by the side. But it's a waste of time to wait in the waiting area all the time - if you do, you might as well just go back to the emergency room and see if there are any other patients.

Entering the MRI room with Feng Ming, Sun Lien looked at the old antique placed in the room, and then was startled by the nameplate on it.

Anke ASP-015, manufactured in February 1990.

This MRI is three years older than Sun Lien!

"Is this ......" Xu Yourong reacted more than Sun Lien, "It is the first set of domestic nuclear magnetic resonance equipment?"

"That's right. That's it. Brother Luo smiled slightly apologetically, "Although it's an old guy, he just finished maintenance yesterday." Now is the time to be in great shape, and it's absolutely fine to use it for a diagnosis......" he paused and continued, "Why don't you just do a full-body scan?" The machine is also put away. ”

Whole-body MRI is a very time-consuming procedure. The patient needs to lie in the machine for five or six hours to complete the scan of the whole body. Although it is easier to detect some problems like early-stage cancer, this kind of examination is an unwarranted waste of medical resources. One patient occupies the machine for up to five or six hours, which means that many other patients who are desperate for MRI will be forced to wait, and may even delay treatment.

But an antique MRI machine used to practice hands does not have so many concerns. Sun Lien agreed to Brother Luo's suggestion without any hesitation, "Start from the head, sweep as much as you can." ”
