Isn't that the case?
fMRI is also a magnetic resonance imaging test, which uses the same magnetic resonance imaging machine as other magnetic resonance imaging projects. The only difference is that it monitors the patient's brain functional activities instead of simply scanning and analyzing the brain structure like MRI examination projects.
To monitor brain function, it is necessary to "stimulate" the human brain to induce brain activity. Such examinations are actually quite common in neurosurgery. For example, many neurosurgery examinations we mentioned earlier require stimulation of the human body to see if it can produce specific reflexes.
Doctor Tang and his colleagues are top 3 neurosurgeons, so it is impossible for them not to understand the principles of these neurosurgery examination items. Therefore, Doctor Tang and his colleagues were furious and thought that it was outrageous for Xie to question their stupidity.
"It's definitely not a direct scan." Dr. Tang and others said.
"By the way." Unexpectedly, Xie Wanying continued, "I know you can't do this."
You know it's impossible why are you asking us this?
Just when these people were about to get mad at her, they suddenly heard someone laugh.
Seeing that it was the two young doctors from the National Association who came with Xie, they couldn't help but smile. Cao Yong must be more calm and would not laugh out loud on someone else's territory, but he still had a smile in his eyes.
...
...
In fact, they were definitely not laughing at their incompetence, but at Xie's stubborn speaking style, which sounded like a boss. No wonder they didn't recognize it at first, thinking how could a medical student have such a bossy tone.
Sometimes the boss speaks like a teacher in the classroom, patiently guiding and guiding, with a bit of his sharp and to-the-point "stinging" style.
I know you can't do this, but I say you didn't do it right. What's going on? Oh, it means you didn't do it accurately and wasted the inspection.
You want to give a patient's brain a "stimulus" to induce brain activity. What methods do you use?
Don’t think that unless you are doing brain surgery, the type of external “stimulation” you give to the brain is irrelevant and any one will do.
For example, when Xie was doing brain stimulation on a musician patient, after careful analysis and judgment, he not only used the music that the patient was most familiar with, but also carefully selected music.
For this patient, what Xie and his colleagues could tell from the examination report was that the stimulation method was not right.
Doctor Tang and his colleagues were sweating profusely.
It can be seen that they have never considered this issue.
You are talking about this vegetative patient. No matter what stimulation method is used, as long as it can be determined whether there is brain activity, it will be fine, right?
Xie made his words clear to the other party: "This is the first time I've read the patient's report. Doctor Tang, you can tell that this patient is in a condition that can be awakened. Under these conditions, it's meaningless to do basic examinations."
Doctors can feel that patients are in a state of minimal consciousness during clinical physical examinations, and it is a complete waste to simply check and confirm this during functional magnetic resonance imaging. If you, Dr. Tang, have been thinking about how to wake up the patient, you should consider checking which specific part of the patient's brain neural network connection has problems.
Just like the removal of brain tumors with parenchymal lesions, the key point of neurosurgery is always positioning. Only by using functional magnetic resonance imaging in the brain without parenchymal lesions to find out where the network is problematic can we determine the surgical site to be operated on.
