Beijing Sets up First Neuropathy Diagnosis Center
Beijing's first neuropathy diagnosis center equipped with computers and digital technology was recently set up in Tiantan Hospital.
Beijing Daily said the center combines neurosurgery, neuroradiation, neuromedicine, and neuropaediatrics. Altogether 37 well-known neurologists, including Wang Zhongcheng and Zhao Yadu, from 12 hospitals in the city will work in the center.
Experts will use digital technology and computers to analyze and store related information and medical reports of the patients during the diagnosing period. They will also supply patients outside Beijing with distance medical consultation.
Based on the medical records, examination results, and pictures sent by the patients in other provinces and regions via the Internet, the experts will be able to offer consultation and work out feasible treatment plans.
