Japan’s ultrasonic location technology launches in Shanghai
Liu Weidong, a well-known expert from Neurosurgery Department and president of Shanghai's Punan Hospital, has drawn inspiration from Japan's ongoing research on ultrasonic location and found the method for locating the impaired part during the cerebrum operation, according to a news report released on Nov 18.
According to the expert, doing operations on the cerebrum has long been a hard nut to crack as the cerebrum floats unpredictably in the cerebrospinal fluid similar to a boat sailing in a raging sea.
Under the proposal of Liu, the fourth academic conference was held by Chinese Association of the Integration of Traditional and Western Medicine at Shanghai's Punan Hospital.
Meanwhile, Prof. Fuhushima from Neurosurgery Department of Duke University also organized an academic seminar where scholars gathered to share research results on pathology of basis cranii.
The series of events aimed to improve the diagnosis and operation on the basis cranii and explore the therapy of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. If the research proves to be successful, the neurosurgical disease will be prevented and patients' rehabilitation will be facilitated.
At the operational section, Prof. Fuhushima from Neurosurgery Department of Duke University demonstrated an operation by employing Japan's new ultrasonic location technology attracting the attention of medical experts from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian Province.
