Dynamic Display Frame Adjustment for Medical Image Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display control devices for medical image diagnosis require users to reset display conditions when the number of examination images for comparison is less than the preset number of display frames, reducing operability.
Innovation Solution
A display control device with a first display control unit, receiving unit, comparison unit, and second display control unit that dynamically adjusts the number of display frames based on the number of selected examination images, allowing users to drag and drop thumbnail images to change the layout, improving user operability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If display conditions are preset with a fixed number of divisions, then the display layout is standardized and easy to initialize, but the system requires manual resetting when the number of examination images differs from the preset divisions, reducing operability
Solution Approach 1:
The display control device dynamically changes the number of display frames based on the number of selected examination images. When the user selects N examination images, the system automatically adjusts the display region to have N divisions, transforming the static preset display configuration into a dynamic adaptive one that matches the actual number of images to be displayed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of display frame count based on the input parameter of selected image count. The display control unit receives the number of selected examination images and modifies the display region configuration accordingly, allowing the display parameters to adapt to the actual data being processed.
2Productivity
If the number of display frames is increased to accommodate more images, then all selected images can be displayed simultaneously, but the display region becomes more complex and harder to manage when fewer images are selected
Solution Approach 1:
The display region dynamically adjusts its number of divisions based on the actual number of selected images. Instead of using a fixed large number of frames that would require manual management, the system creates exactly N display frames when N images are selected, optimizing both productivity and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control device serves multiple functions: it manages variable numbers of display frames, automatically layouts examination images according to the selected count, and adapts to different comparison scenarios (single image, paired comparison, multi-image comparison) through a single unified mechanism.
3Ease of operation
If manual resetting of display conditions is required, then precise control over display layout is possible, but time is lost and user efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display control device performs self-service by automatically adjusting the number of display frames based on the number of selected images. The system monitors the selection state and autonomously modifies the display configuration without requiring user intervention for manual resetting, thus eliminating time loss while maintaining precise control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the number of selected examination images and using this information to automatically adjust the display region configuration. The display control unit receives feedback about the selection state and responds by changing the number of display frames accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that eliminates manual resetting.

AI summary
A display control device includes: a first display control unit that displays, on a display screen, a display region in which a plurality of display frames are arranged and a selection region in which a list of a plurality of thumbnail images obtained by reducing each of a plurality of examination images is displayed; a receiving unit that receives an operation of selecting the plurality of thumbnail images from the selection region to select the plurality of examination images corresponding to the plurality of thumbnail images; a comparison unit that recognizes the number of selected examination images and compares the recognized number of selected examination images with the current number of display frames; a change unit that changes the number of display frames in the display region and adds the display frame in the display region in a case in which the number of display frames is less than the number of selected examination images; and a second display control unit that lays out and displays the plurality of selected examination images in the plurality of display frames.
