Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple color tables are used to display different tissue regions, then tissue differentiation is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple color tables into a single integrated color table that can simultaneously display multiple tissue types with different color schemes. This merging eliminates the need to switch between separate color tables, reducing operational complexity while maintaining the ability to differentiate various tissues through distinct color representations within the unified color table structure.
2Measurement precision
If multiple color tables are used to display different tissue regions, then tissue differentiation is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging multiple color tables into one integrated color table, the system eliminates the time-consuming process of switching between separate color tables. The unified color table allows all tissue types to be displayed simultaneously with appropriate color coding, significantly reducing the time required for tissue differentiation and analysis.
3Reliability
If color tables are switched to display different tissues, then tissue visibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functionality of multiple separate color table systems into a single integrated color table. This consolidation reduces system complexity by eliminating the need for multiple independent color table modules, while still achieving effective tissue visibility through the unified color table's ability to assign distinct color representations to different tissue types simultaneously.
