Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 460 - 381: Gao Jun Is Back

When Huang Jincheng said this, everyone present felt imnse pressure.

However, in reality, the pressure was concentrated on Huang Jincheng and Zhao Heng, as they were the primary surgeon and assistant.

For Huang Jincheng, although such situations were tricky, he wasn’t inexperienced in dealing with them.

"Zhao, are you okay with this?"

Even though Huang Jincheng had great confidence in Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng was still young, and thus Huang couldn’t help but ask again.

"No problem. Actually, this surgery sounds difficult, but as long as we do detailed preoperative modeling, the risk and difficulty will be significantly reduced."

Zhao Heng spoke calmly.

In the past, when performing cardiac interventional surgery, apart from conducting angiography, cardiac ultrasound, and other exams to determine the position of major arteries preoperatively, it was also necessary to use real-ti X-ray fluoroscopy to pinpoint vessel locations during the procedure, which ant wearing heavy lead aprons to shield from radiation.

These X-rays naturally have so impact on the human body, but for adults, the influence from this amount of radiation would fully recover within a week or two.

However, for pregnant won and fetuses, the impact of X-rays is much greater, so X-rays cannot be used for fluoroscopy to determine locations during surgery.

This ans that other thods must be used for location determination during the operation, thereby increasing the surgery’s difficulty.

That’s why Zhao Heng proposed using preoperative three-dinsional modeling to assist the surgery.

Of course, such an auxiliary thod can currently only be used on a few patients. After all, performing three-dinsional modeling, especially for a pregnant woman’s fetal blood vessels and heart, can only be done by the modeling machine at Yanjing University dical Departnt, even in North City.

"The three-dinsional modeling machine at Yanjing University dical Departnt is actually an entire system that includes a whole-body 7.0T MRI and a complete set of computer rendering imaging equipnt. This breaks the previous limit of ultra-high-field MRI, which was only for nervous system scans, achieving ultra-high-field whole-body clinical imaging for the first ti. And the 7.0T ultra-high magnetic field does not exceed the limit magnetic field intensity affecting the fetus," Zhao Heng slightly introduced Yanjing University dical Departnt’s equipnt; this information was found by combining the experience of Professor Li Hongwei.

As Zhao Heng spoke eloquently, Director Huang Jincheng and Zhou Hong nodded frequently. Chief Physician Jiang Rui understood a bit, whereas Ruan Liuzheng could barely make out words like MRI and three-dinsional scanning—most of it was entirely unfamiliar.

Such in-depth knowledge, like how much magnetic field is best for scanning which system in MRI, is certainly unfamiliar to a trainee doctor like Ruan Liuzheng, which is understandable.

"If the hospital could acquire such an MRI, many high-difficulty surgeries could have detailed preoperative three-dinsional scans in the future," lanted Huang Jincheng, modern dicine truly relies heavily on advancents in high-tech developnts.

For example, during surgery, if you have a machine capable of detailed three-dinsional modeling of the entire body, the difficulty and risk of the surgery would be greatly reduced.

"Director Huang, I’ve heard of this equipnt too. Yanjing University dical Departnt spent over a hundred million to acquire it, and currently, our hospital cannot afford it," Zhou Hong added.

Upon hearing Zhou Hong’s words, Ruan Liuzheng, sitting behind Zhao Heng, was astonished.

A single piece of equipnt costing over a million, even Eastern Hospital, one of the country’s top-tier hospitals, couldn’t afford it.

Now, cutting-edge dicine is basically about burning money, and without funds, no matter how skilled or accomplished the doctors are, it’s like having no arena to showcase their talent.

"Lack of money stumps even a hero," Huang Jincheng said with so regret. Given Eastern Hospital’s scale, they could afford a piece of equipnt costing over a million. However, due to the influence of the forr dean, Eastern Hospital’s current appraisal in the departnt isn’t very favorable.

Although Zhao Heng has recently achieved several outstanding and impressive results, overall, it hasn’t greatly improved Eastern Hospital’s reputation in the departnt. After all, the previous dean was in position for over a decade, leaving behind many issues and a negative influence that persists.

To restore the departnt’s trust and esteem to Eastern Hospital from more than a decade ago, there’s still a long way to go.

"You know well how the departnt currently views the hospital, Director Huang; such matters take ti," Zhou Hong said slowly.

Soon, the discussion ended; Zhao Heng and Ruan Liuzheng returned to the ward. In the afternoon, Zhao Heng went to Yanjing University to use the equipnt for a complete three-dinsional scan of the pregnant woman and fetus, naturally, as Zhao Heng had connections at Yanjing University.

Returning to the office, Ruan Liuzheng asked Zhao Heng, confused, "Director, does the departnt have an opinion about our hospital?"

Listening to the conversation between Directors Huang Jincheng and Zhou Hong just now, Ruan Liuzheng couldn’t help but be perplexed. It was only then that she realized that Eastern Hospital, seen as grand and prestigious by trainees, resident trainees, and intern doctors, and even considered a sacred place for all dical students, also had its own difficulties.
