Heart Chamber Analysis Display Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional ultrasound diagnostic apparatuses lack the capability to analyze and uniformly display local wall motions across multiple heart chambers, limiting their functionality in comprehensive heart analysis.
Innovation Solution
A medical processing apparatus and method that adds incidental information about each heart chamber to the analysis results, allowing for the determination of optimal display positions based on this information, enabling the display of analysis results across multiple heart chambers in a desired layout.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional ultrasound diagnostic apparatus analyzes local wall motion for a single heart chamber, then the analysis function is simple and easy to operate, but the apparatus cannot display analysis results for multiple heart chambers uniformly
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple independent display regions, with each region dedicated to displaying analysis results of a specific heart chamber. This segmentation allows simultaneous display of multiple chamber analysis results without increasing overall system complexity, as each region operates independently with the same simple analysis function.
Solution Approach 2:
The same analysis function is made universal by enabling it to process and display analysis results from multiple different heart chambers through a single unified interface. The apparatus can analyze and display results for any combination of heart chambers using the same operational procedures, eliminating the need for separate analysis functions for each chamber type.
2Productivity
If the apparatus displays analysis results for multiple heart chambers, then comprehensive heart analysis is enabled, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines and sets the display layout for multiple heart chamber analysis results based on pre-defined anatomical relationships and display templates. This preliminary configuration eliminates the need for manual arrangement of each chamber's analysis result, allowing comprehensive multi-chamber display to be achieved with a single simple operation rather than complex step-by-step configuration.
3Loss of information
If analysis results from multiple heart chambers are displayed uniformly, then comprehensive comparison is enabled, but the display layout becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
Each display region is optimized with specific local characteristics suited to the particular heart chamber it represents, such as appropriate scaling, annotation styles, and spatial relationships. This local quality optimization ensures that each chamber's analysis result is displayed with maximum clarity and contextual accuracy, while the overall uniform structure maintains simple navigation and comparison across all chambers.

AI summary
According to one embodiment, a medical processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry adds incidental information including information regarding a kind concerning each of a plurality of regions in a heart to an analysis result of each of the regions. The analysis result is obtained by analyzing medical data. The processing circuitry determines a display position of the analysis result of each of the regions based on the incidental information.
