Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Medical imaging devices require time-consuming re-inputting of patient information and imaging parameters during follow-up examinations, leading to inefficiencies in the diagnostic process.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for configuring imaging parameters using a user identifier to determine target values for device parameters, which are then used to automatically set the imaging device settings, reducing the need for manual re-entry and streamlining the examination process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual re-inputting of patient information and imaging parameters is used during follow-up examinations, then data accuracy can be maintained, but examination time and operational workload increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically retrieving and pre-configuring patient information and imaging parameters from the database before the actual examination begins. The processor automatically obtains historical imaging parameters and pre-sets the imaging device, eliminating the need for manual re-inputting during the examination process while ensuring data accuracy through database verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by enabling the imaging device to automatically retrieve its own historical parameters and patient data from the database without requiring manual intervention. The device self-configures by obtaining user identifiers, querying the database for associated imaging parameters, and automatically setting itself up for the next examination, thereby reducing both time and operational workload.
2Measurement precision
If manual re-inputting of imaging parameters is performed, then parameter accuracy can be ensured, but doctor and patient workload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device and system perform self-service by automatically retrieving historical imaging parameters from the database based on user identifiers and examination types, then autonomously configuring the device settings without requiring manual input from doctors or patients, thereby maintaining parameter accuracy while significantly reducing operational workload.
Solution Approach 2:
The database acts as an intermediary between the imaging device and historical parameter data. The processor queries the database using user identifiers as keys, and the database returns pre-stored accurate imaging parameters, serving as a mediator that ensures parameter accuracy while eliminating the need for manual re-inputting and reducing operational burden on medical staff and patients.
3Productivity
If automatic parameter configuration is implemented, then examination efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements universality by creating a multi-functional integrated system where the processor not only controls the imaging device but also queries the database, retrieves historical parameters, and automatically configures device settings. This universal approach consolidates multiple functions (data management, parameter storage, automatic retrieval, and device control) into a single coordinated system, improving examination efficiency while managing complexity through functional integration rather than separate independent systems.
