Chapter 436 The First CT Experiment in Another World

The old hunchback still fell into Gretel's hands.

Strictly speaking, he remained in a state of confinement and was carried along with a chair into the [refuge cabin] released by Cerrela. This magic consumes little and is very effective. The Council's "Advanced Compulsory Course: Third-Level Magic" has been reprinted over the years, and it is included in the recommended list every year.

In Gretel's plan, the order of learning this magic is higher than flying and fireball, and it is almost the first sequence of third-order magic. It's a pity that he hasn't advanced to the fifth level magician yet. For the time being, he can only let Serrela take on the construction work of the temporary operating room.

Serira summoned a floating saucer, and Bernard put the old hunchback on it with a chair, squatted on the edge, and slowly turned the floating saucer; the elder of Gushan, the leader of Red Stone Village [White Wolf] Wolfgen, was far away Far pressed against the wall of the hut, I dare not breathe;

Gretel, on the other hand, was holding a thick hard-cover book, sticking it to the edge of the floating saucer, mumbling, writing and drawing:

"High-density shadow...medium density...low density...high, medium, medium, high, low...turn it! Hey, you turned it too much, come back! - Stop moving, I will continue...low, Low, low, medium, high, medium..."

There were dense grids on the paper, and he filled them all out in a mess. After finishing one page, he drew another page. Soon, beads of sweat appeared on Gretel's forehead.

"Gretel..."

"Shh!"

Grete stopped him without thinking. He wiped his forehead with his backhand, looked at the notebook in front of him with only two pages filled in, and sighed:

so hard……

Is it still too difficult to challenge computers with humans?

But keep at it, Gretel! Exploding mushroom bombs is such an arduous project, it all relies on manpower and abacus, let alone the simplest CT! Persevere, summarize the formula, verify it, and then——

You can go back and hand it over to the tower spirit!

Come on, Grete!

He recorded paper after paper, angle after angle. Recording, summarizing, calculating... The poor old hunchback was imprisoned on the chair motionless, his face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and then from blue to red, but he couldn't scream. It was Gretel who noticed something strange about him, and asked Cerira to untie the shackles on his head and ask him:

"What's wrong?"

"this and that……"

The old hunchback twisted his neck repeatedly, looking at the silver dragon girl one by one, but refused to say a word. Gretel suddenly realized:

"Serila! You go out first!"

"Why!"

"Obey! You go out first, and then come back when I ask you to come in!"

Gretel winked fiercely as he spoke, his eyelids blinking so fast that they were about to twitch. Finally, Cerira reluctantly moved out of the refuge hut. The old hunchback finally breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly:

"I can't hold it in anymore!"

Well... don't say I don't know how to release the confinement technique. Even if I know how to do it, if you run to the toilet and then come back, wouldn't the CT scan I did in front of you be in vain?

"...Can you bear it?"

"I can't bear it anymore!"

I'm really sorry for this. Grete shook off sweat. For this examination in the hospital in my previous life, the scanning time for head CT was only a few seconds, and for chest CT it was only ten seconds. Even if it was enhanced CT and multiple parts were scanned at the same time, the combined time of getting on and off the examination bed would only be twenty seconds at most. minutes or so. But what about myself now?

It seems, like, almost an hour has passed? And I'm only halfway through recording?

If you are not good at learning, you will feel ashamed.

This thing can't be resisted. But let’s just deal with it on the chair. Gretel is worried that Cerira will come back and smell the smell. If he doesn’t kill the patient, he will kill him first...

Forget it. He took out a seed and activated the power of nature. The green vines snaked like snakes, swimming toward the old hunchback and slipping into the magic prison. Soon, the old man shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Don't come over here!"

Then... I'm really sorry for this, I didn't want to... In the future, I will try to speed up the recording speed and remind patients to remember to use the toilet before doing CT...

Not long after, Gretel quietly walked out of the [refuge cabin] carrying a bag wrapped in green leaves, and then quietly walked back. Stand back to your original position, concentrate, and engage in manual recording of CT signals again.

After nearly another hour of busy work, the information from all directions was recorded. Grete squatted beside him, calculating for an unknown amount of time, and finally integrated all the records on a form. He then smeared the data in each square and manually drew a CT image.

"Hmm...it seems there's still something wrong..."

Gretel frowned while holding the manual CT chart. Observed with the naked eye (meditation vision) and drawn by hand, the accuracy is really low. A deep and shallow, fuzzy grid looks like a heavy mosaic. It is really difficult to tell whether there is a perforation of the esophagus or damage to the aorta from the picture.

Ugh... I really want to contract an incorporeal body as soon as possible... With the eyes of the incorporeal body, I can directly see the situation inside the body, and all CT and MRI can be put aside!

"Gretel, what's wrong?"

Cerira stretched her head over his shoulder. The picture Gretel drew by hand is a big circle with two bright shadows on the side and several groups of bright or dark shadows in the middle. Where is the trachea? Where are the blood vessels? Where is the spoon stuck in the esophagus that Grete mentioned?

"Well, you first need to have a concept of the anatomy of the human body." Gretel himself was confused when he saw the CT pictures for the first time. He could understand Miss Yinlong's confusion and explained it to her smoothly. speak:

"This image is a horizontal diagram of a certain layer of the human body. You imagine cutting the human body horizontally and exposing a certain side - imagine! Imagine!!!"

He broke out in a cold sweat and patted Cerela's eager palm. Although he knew that Silver Dragon was a good dragon and would not cut people open for no reason, he still felt a little frightened when he saw her making gestures like this:

"On this layer, looking from the back to the front, the back is the spine, the esophagus is forward, and the trachea is further forward. The blood vessels are attached to the trachea and esophagus. So it is very clear at a glance, the location of the esophagus. There is an extra shadow, protruding toward the blood vessels..."

"where?"

"Well, actually I'm still not sure..."

This requires a 64-slice CT to scan clearly! In terms of accuracy, my meditation field of vision is probably not as good as even a single-row CT...

Even with such terrible accuracy, Gretel reluctantly came to a conclusion. He took the hand-drawn CT chart, summoned [Silent Phantom], and gestured to the old hunchback:

"As for the esophagus, it must be injured, and maybe there is a little perforation. How do you feel now? There seems to be something in the chest? Chest pain? Difficulty swallowing? That's right, it's stuck. But there is no cough, phlegm, vomiting blood, or difficulty breathing. , indicating that this thing did not puncture the trachea, and the large blood vessel connected to the heart did not bleed heavily."

He pointed at the illusion in front of him and tried to keep it simple. However, the more he talked, the paler the old hunchback became, and finally he was about to collapse:

"Your Excellency, Pastor, please tell me how to treat it! I will listen to you! I will listen to whatever you say! Even if you have to cut open your chest and take out this thing, I will listen to you!"

"Nonsense!" Without waiting for Grete to reply, Elder Gushan shouted loudly:

"Are you a necromancer?"

Gretel: →_→

Although I am not a necromancer, your words always sound strange...

Well, it’s not necessary to have a large chest opening, at least in this situation, it’s not necessary yet. When Grete was just working, if he encountered such a troublesome esophageal foreign body, he might indeed need a thoracotomy. But now, with esophagoscopy, thoracoscopy, and an aortic stent graft as backup, everything is done.

During the operation period, intraoperative bleeding is less and postoperative recovery is faster. Unless it is too late when you come for treatment, the inside is perforated, inflamed, suppurated, and adhesions are in a mess, and it is too close to the aorta and cannot be removed by the endoscopic device, otherwise, there is really no need to perform a major removal.

In other words, the advancement of medical technology is not just for the benefit of patients.

"It's not that scary." He smiled, comforted the old hunchback, and quietly threw a [Remove Fear]. Alas, I have become depraved. Now when communicating with patients, I have learned to be lazy and directly resort to magic to comfort...

Grete silently reflected on his laziness while controlling the phantom to explain to the old hunchback:

"That's it. The next method we will use is to induce vines to enter from your mouth, reach the esophagus, and directly take out the foreign body." A green vine stretches into the mouth and goes straight down in the translucent esophagus. , wrapping around the half spoon outlined by the phantom:

"In order to be able to see the foreign object during the operation, we also need to place a secret eye and a light source. Of course, since this spoon may penetrate the aorta, we also need to make a small hole in your chest——"

Grete opened his right index finger and thumb to mark a width of 0.5 centimeters, indicating that only such a small hole was needed:

"Put another vine in. If the aorta is injured, treat it as soon as possible when pulling out the foreign object."

The second and third virtual vines, one wrapped in the secret eye and the other wrapped in a ball of light, extend from top to bottom into the esophagus. The fourth, fifth, and sixth vines entered the chest, and the secret eye lit up another field of vision. The old hunchback stared blankly and listened to Grete say:

"Of course, considering that even if there is damage to the aorta, it will be very small, we have another plan: without drilling a hole in the chest, directly prepare for the treatment, and pull out the foreign body and release it immediately. As long as the operation is fast enough and the cooperation is good enough, it will not Too much bleeding.”

"Then don't dig holes!" the old hunchback shouted impatiently. After calling out, fearing to offend Gretel, he cautiously glanced at him:

"Your Excellency, I am older, and... I am less courageous..."

Sticking a few vines into your mouth is okay, but drilling holes in your chest sounds really scary!
