2017/5/16 14:58:07

  要做医学扫描,或者取报告前,人们或多或少都感到紧张,为自己的身体状况感到担忧,这就是“扫描焦虑症”。西藏自治区人民医院医生在使用3.0T超导磁共振成像系统为患者进行检查。
Scanxiety is the anxiety experienced while waiting to undergo a medical scan or receive the results of one. 
“扫描焦虑症”指的是等待进行医学扫描或接收检查报告时感到的焦虑。

Whether scans are being done for diagnosis, to monitor treatment, to check for a recurrence, or simply for follow-up, it doesn't matter. It's scary to wait! It negatively affects patients' quality of life, may undermine follow-up care plans, and can even lead to unnecessary treatment. 

不管医学扫描是为了诊断病情、监测治疗、检测复发、还是仅仅为了随访,等待的过程就是让人害怕。“扫描焦虑症”会影响病人的生活质量,也可能会影响随访护理计划,甚至导致不必要的治疗。
