Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional heart function analysis typically focuses on a single heart structure, limiting the comprehensive display and usability of medical information regarding multiple heart structures, which hampers the comprehensive analysis and diagnostic efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A medical processing apparatus and ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that acquire and display a body mark showing the positional relationship of multiple heart structures, along with their analysis results, using image processing and display control functions to synchronize and highlight relevant areas, enabling a comprehensive view of heart function analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional heart function analysis focuses on a single structure, then the analysis depth for that structure is improved, but the comprehensive display and usability of medical information regarding multiple heart structures deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple display areas, with each area dedicated to showing analysis results of different heart structures. The body mark is also segmented into multiple indication areas, with each area corresponding to a specific heart structure and its analysis results. This segmentation allows simultaneous display of multiple heart structure analyses without compromising the depth of individual analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from displaying a single heart structure analysis to a multi-dimensional display by incorporating both the body mark (showing positional relationships) and multiple display areas (showing analysis results of different structures) on the same screen. This spatial arrangement in another dimension enables comprehensive display of multiple structures while maintaining individual analysis depth.
2Measurement precision
If conventional heart function analysis focuses on a single structure, then the analysis detail for that structure is improved, but the diagnostic efficiency for comprehensive heart function analysis deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple independent display areas, each showing detailed analysis results of a specific heart structure. The body mark is segmented into corresponding indication areas that link to these display areas. This allows diagnosticians to view detailed analysis of multiple structures simultaneously, improving diagnostic efficiency without sacrificing analysis detail.
Solution Approach 2:
The body mark serves multiple functions: it shows the positional relationships of heart structures, provides indication areas for each structure, and acts as a navigation tool to switch between different display areas. This multi-functionality enables comprehensive heart function analysis while maintaining detailed analysis capability for each structure.
3Loss of information
If multiple heart structures are displayed simultaneously, then the comprehensive view of heart function is improved, but the complexity of the display system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The body mark acts as an intermediary element that simplifies the display system. It provides a visual reference framework that shows positional relationships of heart structures and contains indication areas that correspond to display areas. This intermediary reduces the complexity of displaying multiple structures by providing a clear organizational structure that links the body anatomy to the analysis results.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the display system have specialized functions: the body mark shows positional relationships and provides navigation, while each display area shows detailed analysis results of specific structures. This local quality specialization reduces overall system complexity by assigning specific roles to different components rather than requiring a single complex display mechanism.

AI summary
According to one embodiment, a medical processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a body mark that schematically shows a positional relationship of a plurality of structures in a heart. The processing circuitry analyzes image data as analysis targets which are at least two structures in the heart of a subject, the image data being acquired by scanning the subject. The processing circuitry displays the body mark on a display together with analysis results of the at least two structures.
