Determination System Feature Information Display for Diagnostic Validation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for determining the condition of a target site in the human body, such as medical imaging, lack the ability to provide comprehensive and reliable information for users to validate the accuracy of diagnostic results, as they do not offer clear explanations of the features detected in the images.
Innovation Solution
A determination system that includes an acquirer for target images, a first generator for generating determination information, a second generator for feature information, and a display controller to present both types of information, allowing users to understand the reliability and validity of the diagnostic results by displaying feature information related to the detected conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only determination information is provided without feature information, then the system is simpler and faster, but users cannot validate the accuracy or understand the basis of diagnostic results
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the output information into two distinct components: determination information (diagnostic results) and feature information (extracted features from images). This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive information while maintaining clear organization and manageability, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces feature information as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between raw determination information and user understanding. This intermediary provides the basis for validation and explanation, enabling users to verify diagnostic accuracy without requiring direct access to complex processing details.
2Reliability
If comprehensive feature information is provided to enable validation, then user understanding and reliability assessment improve, but the system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where feature information is provided back to users to enable validation of determination information. This feedback loop allows users to assess the reliability of diagnostic results by examining the extracted features, thereby improving trust in the system without requiring fundamental changes to the core diagnostic engine.
3Loss of information
If multiple types of information are generated and displayed, then user understanding improves, but information processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by extracting and storing feature information during the image processing stage, before final determination is made. This allows feature information to be prepared in advance and readily available for display alongside determination information, reducing the time penalty that would otherwise result from generating all information on demand.
Data Source
AI summary
A user is presented with determination information obtained by determining a condition of a target site and feature information indicating a feature related to a condition of a body of a subject, which are generated from the same image representing the target site of the subject. A determination system includes an acquirer that acquires a target image representing a target site of a body of a subject, a first generator that generates first determination information indicating a condition of the target site from the target image used to generate the first determination information, a second generator that generates feature information indicating a feature related to a condition of the body of the subject from the target image, and a display controller that causes a display apparatus to display the first determination information and the feature information.
