AR Pathologic Microscope Overlay for Real-Time AI Observation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional pathological microscopes require doctors to switch back and forth between the microscopic field and AI-processed images, which is inconvenient and lacks real-time performance in the observation process.
Innovation Solution
Integrate augmented reality (AR) technology into the pathologic microscope to directly analyze pathological sections using AI, superimposing analysis information onto the microscopic field, allowing simultaneous observation of both the section and AI analysis results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If doctors switch between microscopic field and AI-processed images to observe pathological sections, then they can obtain comprehensive diagnostic information, but the observation process becomes inconvenient and loses real-time performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the microscopic field view and AI-processed image into a single unified display. The AR projection component overlays AI analysis information (such as segmentation results, detection markers, and diagnostic data) directly onto the microscopic field of view, allowing doctors to observe both the original pathological section and AI analysis results simultaneously without switching between different images or displays.
2Loss of information
If doctors switch between microscopic field and AI-processed images, then they can obtain comprehensive diagnostic information, but real-time performance is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous real-time observation by maintaining a persistent overlay of AI analysis information on the microscopic field. The system continuously updates and refreshes the AR projection as the doctor navigates through the pathological section, ensuring that diagnostic information remains current and synchronized with the live microscopic view without requiring intermittent switching or pausing.
