But before the diagnosis was clear,
these words must not be spoken.
Yet, when Chen Cang suggested undergoing Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) for the pancreas, the doctors all understood the implications.
Although the pancreatic MRE technology was not as mature as traditional examinations,
it was a valuable assessment for the pancreas
because of its deep location, irregular shape, and the complex surrounding tissue structures.
Currently, the methods for early diagnosis of pancreatic diseases were not yet perfected.
The traditional CT used at this stage had been proven to lack specificity in the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis.
Even though the ultrasound and CT scans showed no obvious abnormalities in the pancreas,
Chen Cang felt something was amiss.
Under the four-dimensional imaging, Chen Cang, combining these dozens of CT images, had already begun reconstructing the situation within the abdominal cavity.
