Display Apparatus Dynamic Image Frame Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Dynamic radiography generates large amounts of data, leading to time-consuming downloads and potential freezing of low-performance display apparatuses, as well as significant storage occupancy when attempting to display dynamic images and analysis images directly.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus and image management server system that acquires and displays radiology reports with dynamically radiographed images or analysis images, using a cloud-based system to efficiently manage and render these images, reducing data transfer by using thumbnail images or server-side rendering to minimize storage and processing demands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If dynamic images or dynamic analysis images are downloaded directly to a low-performance display apparatus, then the complete image data can be displayed, but the download becomes time-consuming and the display apparatus may freeze due to being unable to handle the large amount of data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large dynamic image data into multiple frames and transmits them sequentially. The display apparatus receives and displays frames one by one, reconstructing the dynamic image over time. This avoids the need to download and process the entire large dataset at once, preventing system freezing while maintaining complete image display capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The image management server performs preliminary processing by encoding the dynamic image into a stream of displayable frames before transmission. This pre-processing prepares the data in a format that can be efficiently handled by low-performance display apparatuses, reducing the computational burden during the display phase.
2Loss of information
If dynamic images or dynamic analysis images are downloaded directly to a display apparatus, then the complete image information is available, but the data occupies much of the storage capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential visual information from dynamic images by converting them into a sequence of display frames with associated metadata. This extraction process removes redundant data while preserving the core diagnostic information needed for medical analysis, significantly reducing storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of storing and transferring complete high-resolution dynamic image sequences, the system creates a simplified copy in the form of display frames that can be reconstructed on the display apparatus. This copy contains the necessary visual information for diagnosis but occupies much less storage space than the original data.
Data Source
AI summary
Provided is a display apparatus including a hardware processor that acquires, from an external apparatus, a radiology report to which a dynamic image acquired by irradiating and dynamically radiographing a subject with radiation or a dynamic analysis image indicating a result of analyzing the dynamic image is attached; and a display that displays the acquired radiology report.
