Chapter 497 (1/2)

”Mr. Song, do you want to use NMR? Don't we have an MRI in our hospital?” Guo Xiang said.

Last time I learned from Mr. Yang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the cancer hospital has the only MRI in China, which cost US $1.5 million to import.

”Yes, but the cost of MRI is too high.” Song tingshen pondered for a moment.

Guo Xiang nodded. That's true. I thought it could be cheap in this era, but the NMR instrument is so expensive that it is close to the price of later generations. The cost should not be cheap.

”How much is it at a time?” Asked Guo Xiang.

”It's about 300 yuan. If it's the head, it's even more expensive.” Song tingshen said.

In this era, the high salary is only more than 100 a month. Once, the salary is gone for three months.

If Lin Yingguo himself is OK, he is a public official and can reimburse medical expenses, but Lin Jingan is still a student. Now he doesn't have any medical insurance, so he has to bear the expenses by himself.

Although Lin Yingguo is a county magistrate, his salary is low at this time, and money can be calculated. If there is no gray income, his life savings may be twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

Seeing a disease costs almost all your savings.

The main reason is that the disease may not look good.

In future generations, a liver cancer will cost almost 200000 or 300000. Ordinary families do not say that they can take it out casually.

Therefore, as the saying goes, no matter what kind of illness, illness, especially serious illness, ordinary people can't afford it in any age.

”Is that still enhanced with CT? Then you have to make a shadow agent... ”Guo Xiang said, but the cost is much cheaper.

”What do you mean by NMR? Is it better for my son? ” Lin Yingguo asked.

”Uncle Lin, this MRI is a kind of detector, which can clearly show the internal structure of liver tumor and its relationship with intrahepatic blood vessels, and can clearly show the internal structural characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma, which is more conducive to our diagnosis, but the cost is too high.”

”There is also a CT machine, which is also possible, but it is necessary to Enhance CT and create shadow agents, which can also achieve the same purpose, and the cost is cheaper.”

”Of course, the diagnosis of liver cancer is not only this, but also five items of liver cancer and B-ultrasound assistance, but those two imaging examinations are the most expensive.” Guo Xiang said.

”Do you think it's necessary?” Lin Yingguo asked.

Guo Xiang pondered for a moment. In fact, in later generations, she preferred MRI, because MRI can provide more information than CT, and the resolution of soft tissue is higher than CT.

If some patients have a CT examination in advance, the doctor sometimes suggests that the patient have another MRI.

But now the situation is somewhat different. In this era, the cost is too high, and it is not impossible to use CT, so we can save a little.

”Then still use CT?” Guo Xiang asked song tingshen.

He nodded, ”yes.”

Lin Yingguo also nodded. They didn't understand this at all. Of course, what the doctor said was what he said, and he was familiar with Guo Xiang. He knew that she shouldn't pit herself.

Song tingshen ordered Lin Jing'an to be hospitalized and arranged various examinations.

”Dr. Song, can my son be cured?” Lin Mu asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

Song tingshen and Guo Xiang looked at each other and said, ”in fact, we now have a way to change your son's liver. If you two match your son's blood type and have no problem, donate a liver for transplantation to your son.”

”Is that ok? Then I will! ” Lin mother said immediately.
