Dynamic Image Processing Selecting Scattered Radiation Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for removing scattered radiation components from radiographic images, especially dynamic images, are time-consuming and inefficient, leading to prolonged processing times that hinder medical diagnostics and increase unnecessary waiting times for medical professionals.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic image processing system that selects an appropriate scattered radiation component removal process based on order information, allowing for the use of normal, simplified, or no removal process, depending on the type of analysis required, thereby optimizing processing time and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a scattered radiation removal process is performed on every frame image of a dynamic image, then scattered radiation components are removed from the images, but the processing time becomes excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively performing scattered radiation removal processes only on specific frame images that require it, rather than processing every frame. The system determines whether scattered radiation removal is necessary based on the type of dynamic analysis ordered, thereby reducing unnecessary processing time while maintaining diagnostic quality where needed.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the same scattered radiation removal process is applied to every dynamic image, then consistent processing is achieved, but unnecessary waiting time is created for medical professionals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the scattered radiation removal process adaptive rather than static. The system dynamically adjusts whether to perform scattered radiation removal based on the specific dynamic analysis type ordered, allowing processing consistency when needed while improving productivity when scattered radiation removal is unnecessary for the particular analysis.
3Measurement precision
If a full scattered radiation removal process is performed on all dynamic images, then image quality is improved, but the processing speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating processing requirements based on the specific needs of different dynamic analyses. Instead of uniformly applying scattered radiation removal to all images, the system selectively applies the process only where it contributes to diagnostic quality, thereby maintaining image quality where necessary while improving overall processing speed.
