Xie Wanyingās words aimed to clarify a point: even with dual-source CT and the 64-slice spiral CT developed in the coming years, which add numerous detectors (equivalent to multiple cameras), they cannot make the CT imaging speed exceed the physical limit.
This is because the CT machine rotates 180 degrees to collect data and reconstruct images, with the shutter speed determined by the rotational speed. Angiography machines, like X-ray machines, are fixed and collect data by pressing the shutter to form images, giving them a significant advantage in shutter speed.
Angiography machines have their advantages, but CT machines have their advantages too. For car accident patients, excluding heart problems is primarily done with CT rather than angiography.
The reason is simple: heart injuries caused by car accidents are generally not coronary artery issues; there is a possibility of heart rupture.
CT can perform a very detailed scan of certain parts of the patientās body in a short time, which is advantageous for checking heart anatomical structure problems. This is not an advantage of angiography machines, as the images taken by angiography machines, like X-rays, tend to overlap.
To sum it up, for car accident patients like her cousin, CT scanning of the coronary arteries is unlikely to directly find coronary issues, even doing a CTA would be a crude examination. However, checking whether the heart structure is damaged is one of the important tasks of the CT room. Clear this distinction to know what CT can do for her cousin. Whether the CT room at the Provincial Peopleās Hospital checked her cousin thoroughly might need a question mark.
The medical records during hospitalization at the Provincial Peopleās Hospital are archived in the hospitalās medical records room, and no one can take them away. To view or copy them, one must wait for the doctor to organize the medical records and archive them in the records room, then family members can apply by presenting the patientās ID.
Despite this, industry experts such as Zhang Huayao, Cao Yong, and Shim Youhuan, based on just a few words in the previous hospital discharge summary, can almost pinpoint where the main problems lie.
Bosses are experts and will never be easily fooled.
Now also in the CT room, Doctor Xu looked at Doctor Li as he relayed the results of two CT scans of the patient from the Provincial Peopleās Hospital, concluding, "The report was probably altered."
"Huh?" Doctor Zhao raised his head, questioning his mentor.
Xie Wanyingās heart skipped a beat.
The first CT scan report for Xiao Shugang by the Provincial Peopleās Hospital stated that there was no abnormality in the heart. The surgeons at the Provincial Peopleās Hospital certainly wouldnāt allow the CT room to rewrite the report. Otherwise, it would mean that their surgeons ignored the CT report and didnāt perform heart-related surgery during the operation. Clearly, there was an issue with the patientās heart before surgery, and the surgical department wouldnāt bear this blame.
The second CT scan report stated there was a blood clot in the right atrium.
"Do you think thereās a blood clot in his right atrium?" Doctor Xu asked Doctor Zhao and Student Xie, encouraging a detailed discussion between them to enhance accuracy in patient assessment.
Doctor Zhao scratched his head, grabbed the patientās exam application report, and read it again, saying, "This examination result is quite ambiguous about the blood clot, not specifying clearly the size, making people suspect whether they couldnāt see the clot clearly?"
You might as well directly say they possibly fabricated it.
Xie Wanying read the thoughts of Doctor Xu and Doctor Zhao, acknowledging itās indeed a possibility and quite a significant one. As influential doctors in their field, Doctor Xu and Doctor Zhao could spot inconsistencies in their peersā reports with a discerning eye, easily identifying issues.
