Fluoroscopic Imaging System Injection History Data Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current fluoroscopic imaging systems do not record or store information about the injection conditions of medical liquids, making it impossible to confirm how the liquid was injected when the fluoroscopic image data is picked up.
Innovation Solution
A fluoroscopic imaging system that includes an imaging management unit, an imaging diagnostic apparatus, a data storage unit, a liquid injector that generates injection history data, and a data control unit that registers this data with the imaging order data, allowing for the confirmation of injection history.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If injection history data is not recorded or stored, then the system remains simple and does not require additional data management, but it becomes impossible to confirm how the medical liquid was injected when fluoroscopic image data is picked up
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the injection history data management with the existing imaging order data management system. The data control unit integrates injection history data (including injection time, rate, and volume) with imaging order data, allowing both types of information to be stored and managed together in the imaging management unit through a unified data structure and communication protocol.
2Reliability
If injection history data is associated with imaging order data, then verification of injection processes is improved, but the data management system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The data control unit serves as an intermediary component that bridges the liquid injector and the imaging management unit. It receives injection history data from the liquid injector, associates it with corresponding imaging order data using identification information, and transmits the combined data to the imaging management unit for storage and verification, thereby enabling reliable injection process verification without directly complicating the core imaging system.

AI summary
A liquid injector (400) injects a medical liquid into a patient whose fluoroscopic image data is to be picked up and generates injection history data corresponding to the injection, and a control box (500) registers the injection history data in a RIS (100) in association with imaging order data. Accordingly, the RIS (100) also stores the injection history data associated with the imaging order data, and therefore the injection history data can also be confirmed based on the imaging order data.
