Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional diagnostic methods are used for ARDS, then the diagnostic process is simple, but the diagnosis is delayed and accuracy is low
Solution Approach 1:
The diagnostic system is segmented into multiple specialized models: a first model for preprocessing X-ray images, a second model for determining lung infiltration, and a third model for calculating ARDS probability. This segmentation allows each component to focus on a specific task, improving overall diagnostic accuracy while managing complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that bridges raw medical data and clinical diagnosis. The first model acts as an intermediary to preprocess X-ray images into standardized formats, the second model intermediates between images and infiltration assessment, enabling accurate diagnosis through multiple intermediate processing stages
2Reliability
If comprehensive clinical data analysis is performed, then treatment can be dynamically adjusted, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing of X-ray images using the first model before main diagnosis occurs. By pre-processing images to extract key features and standardize formats beforehand, the system reduces the computational burden during critical diagnosis moments, enabling faster and more reliable treatment decisions
Solution Approach 2:
The diagnostic system operates continuously by processing multiple data streams (X-ray images, blood inspection data, vital signs, respirator data) simultaneously through parallel model operations. This continuous processing ensures that comprehensive analysis is performed without significant time loss, maintaining treatment reliability

AI summary
An acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) evaluating method includes an image preprocessing step, a lung infiltration determining step, a probability generating step and an evaluating step. The image preprocessing step includes inputting an X-ray image data to a first model to generate an X-ray partial image. The lung infiltration determining step includes inputting the X-ray partial image to a second model to generate a lung infiltration probability and a lung infiltration region image. The probability generating step includes inputting the lung infiltration probability, a blood inspection data, a vital signs data and a respiratory data to a third model to generate an ARDS suffering probability. The evaluating step includes calculating an evaluating result according to the lung infiltration region image and the ARDS suffering probability.
