Ua haʻi aku ke kauka iā ʻoe e hana i kahi Gallium Scan? E ʻike kākou i nā mea hou aʻe e pili ana i ia mea.

Ua kuhikuhi paha kāu kauka iā ʻoe i kahi 'Gallium Scan'. Ua makaʻu iki paha ʻoe i kou lohe ʻana i ka inoa. He mea maʻamau ke hopohopo iki i kou lohe ʻana i ka huaʻōlelo 'scan' a i ʻole ka huaʻōlelo 'radioactive'. Akā, ʻaʻohe mea e makaʻu ai. I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kēia ma ke ʻano maʻalahi loa e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he aha ka Gallium Scan?

He hoʻāʻo kūikawā ka scan gallium no ka lāʻau lapaʻau nukelea. Mai makaʻu i ka huaʻōlelo "nukelea." Hoʻohana ia i kahi liʻiliʻi a palekana o ka mea radioactive e ʻike i nā mea e hana nei i loko o ko mākou kino.

ʻO ka mea nui, ʻimi kēia hoʻāʻo i nā huna huna o ke kanesa, nā maʻi, a me ka mumū (inflammation) i loko o ko kākou kino. E noʻonoʻo i kēia mea i kapa ʻia ʻo gallium he 'kiu' liʻiliʻi i hoʻouna ʻia e ʻimi i nā wahi pilikia i loko o ko kākou kino. Hoʻokomo kekahi kauka i kahi liʻiliʻi o kēia mea radioactive i kapa ʻia ʻo gallium i loko o kou lima. A laila, lawe kahi kāmela kūikawā i nā kiʻi o kahi i hele ai kēia 'kiu' i loko o kou kino.

He aha ke ʻano o nā maʻi e hoʻohana ʻia ai kēia scan e ʻike ai?

Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā scan Gallium e ʻike i nā pilikia huna i paʻakikī ke ʻike me nā scan ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi o nā kūlana olakino nui e hiki ke ʻike ʻia me kēia scan.

Eia kekahi, i kekahi manawa inā loaʻa i ke kanaka ke kuni mau, akā ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa ke kumu (ke kuni o ke kumu i ʻike ʻole ʻia) , hana ʻia kēia scan e ʻike inā he maʻi ma lalo ke kumu.

He mea weliweli maoli anei kēia? Pono anei kākou e makaʻu i ka radiation?

ʻO kēia ka nīnau nui loa a ka poʻe he nui. ʻO ka pane, ʻaʻole, ʻaʻole ia he mea weliweli . Hoʻohana kēia hoʻāʻo i kahi liʻiliʻi loa o ka radiation. I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, hoʻopuka ia i ka nui like o ka radiation e like me kāu e hōʻike ai i ka wā e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe kekahi mau X-ray maʻamau.

Pehea e hoʻomākaukau ai ma mua o ke scan?

ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, ʻaʻole pono kēia i ka hoʻomākaukau kūikawā nui ʻana, akā aia kekahi mau mea āu e makaʻala ai.

• Inā hāpai ʻoe a i ʻole e kali ana i kahi pēpē: Inā hāpai ʻoe, a i ʻole he kānalua iki paha ʻoe e hāpai ana, pono ʻoe e haʻi aku i kāu kauka a me ka ʻoihana pili ma ka haukapila ma mua o ke scan, no ka mea, ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka radiation no ka pēpē i loko o ka ʻōpū.
• Inā he makuahine hānai ʻoe: Inā he makuahine hānai ʻoe, pono ʻoe e haʻi i kēia. Hiki ke aʻo ʻia ʻoe e hoʻōki i ka hānai ʻana i kāu pēpē no kekahi mau lā ma hope o ke scan a hāʻawi iā ia i ka waiū formula. ʻO kēia no ka mea hiki i kēia mea radioactive ke komo i loko o kou waiū umauma.
• Hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ka kolona: I kekahi manawa, e noi ʻia ʻoe e lawe i ka laxative ma kahi o hoʻokahi lā ma mua o ke scan. E kōkua kēia i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i kou kolona. E ʻoi aku ka maopopo o nā kiʻi. Ua like ia me ka holoi ʻana i ka lens o kahi kāmela ma mua o ke kiʻi ʻana i kahi kiʻi.

Inā he ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ʻē aʻe ma waho aʻe o kēia, e hoʻomaopopo ka haukapila iā ʻoe e pili ana i ia mea.

He aha ka mea e hana ʻia i ka lā o ke scan?

ʻO ka scan gallium he hana maʻamau ia he ʻelua a ʻekolu paha lā, ʻo ia hoʻi, pono ʻoe e hele i ka haukapila i ʻelua a ʻekolu paha manawa.

Lā ʻEkahi: Ke lawe ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau

ʻO ka mea wale nō e hana ʻia ana i kēia lā, he wahi liʻiliʻi o kahi mea radioactive i kapa ʻia ʻo gallium i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o kahi aa koko ma kou lima. Ua like ia me ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi inikini lāʻau lapaʻau maʻamau, a i ʻole saline. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻi i ka home ma hope o kēlā. Hele ka lāʻau lapaʻau ma kou kino a lawe i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha lā e hōʻiliʻili ai ma nā wahi pilikia.

Lā ʻElua/ʻEkolu: Ke Kiʻi ʻana i nā Kiʻi (Ke Kiʻi ʻana)

E hana ʻia ke scan maoli i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha lā ma hope. Ke hele ʻoe i ka haukapila i kēlā lā, eia kekahi mau mea e hana ʻia:

• E hāʻawi ʻia aku ʻoe i kahi lole haukapila kūikawā e ʻaʻahu ai.
• E noi ʻia ʻoe e wehe i nā mea hao a pau mai kou kino, e like me nā apo pepeiao, nā lei, nā apo, a me nā wati. Hiki i nā mea hao ke hoʻopilikia i ka hana o ka scanner.
• E hoʻomoe ʻia ʻoe ma luna o kahi moena kūikawā.
• A laila e neʻe mālie ana kahi kāmela nui a puni kou kino a lawe i nā kiʻi.
• ʻO ka mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo ma ʻaneʻi: ʻAʻole hoʻopuka kēia kāmela i kekahi radiation i loko o kou kino. 'ʻIke wale' ia i nā kukuna gamma mai ka gallium i loko o kou kino, e like me ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi hōʻailona e ka lekiō.
• E noi ʻia ʻoe e paʻa i nā kūlana like ʻole a noho mālie i ka wā o ke kiʻi ʻana.

Hiki i kēia kaʻina hana holoʻokoʻa ke hala ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola. I kekahi manawa e noi ʻia paha ʻoe e hoʻi mai i kekahi lā aʻe e kiʻi i nā kiʻi hou aku.

He aha kaʻu e hana ai ma hope o ke scan?

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻi i ka home i ka lā hoʻokahi i kāu scan. E hele mālie ana ka mea radioactive i loko o kou kino mai kou kino ma o kou mimi a me ka ʻōpala i loko o kekahi mau lā. Eia nō naʻe, i loko o kēlā mau lā, he mea nui e hahai i kēia mau ʻanuʻu e hōʻemi i ka manawa kūpono e hāʻawi aku ai ʻoe i kahi liʻiliʻi o ka mea radioactive i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe.

• I ka wā e hoʻohana ai i ka lua:
• Inā ʻoe e ninini i ka mimi a i ʻole ka feces, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono iā ia.
• E holoi i ka lua i ʻelua manawa.
• E holoi mau i kou mau lima me ke kopa ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lua.
• E inu i ka wai nui: E haʻi aku kāu kauka iā ʻoe e inu i ka wai a me nā wai he nui no kekahi mau lā. E kōkua kēia i ka mea radioactive e haʻalele koke i kou kino.
• Huakaʻi mokulele: Inā ʻoe e huakaʻi ana i nā ʻāina ʻē i loko o 3 mau mahina o kāu scan, e noi i kāu kauka no kahi leka e pili ana i ia mea , no ka mea, hiki i nā scanner koʻikoʻi ma kekahi mau kahua mokulele ke ʻohi i nā wahi liʻiliʻi o ka gallium i koe i loko o kou kino.

Aia kekahi mau hopena ʻaoʻao i kēia?

He hoʻāʻo palekana loa kēia. Eia nō naʻe, he mea kākaʻikahi loa, hiki i kekahi poʻe ke loaʻa kahi hopena maʻi i ka injection. Hiki i kēia ke komo pū me ka ʻili ʻulaʻula a i ʻole ka nausea. Inā hana ʻia kēia, mai hopohopo a haʻi koke i kāu kauka.

Āhea wau e loaʻa ai ka hōʻike?

ʻO ka maʻamau, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka hōʻike i loko o ʻelua a ʻekolu mau lā. E nānā pono ke kauka radiology i nā kiʻi scan, e hoʻomākaukau i kahi hōʻike, a hoʻouna aku i ke kauka nāna ʻoe i kuhikuhi no ka hoʻokolohua. A laila e wehewehe kāu kauka i nā hopena iā ʻoe ma muli o kēlā hōʻike.
