Imaging Support Device for Converting Technical Positioning Terms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies in radiography lack a method to effectively convert technical terms for positioning corrections into expressions preferred by users, leading to difficulties in understanding and implementing these corrections.
Innovation Solution
An imaging support device and system that acquires first imaging support information, converts it into second imaging support information using a hardware processor, and outputs the converted information to assist users in understanding and implementing positioning corrections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If conventional word conversion technology is used to convert technical terms, then the conversion process is automated, but the converted expressions do not match user preferences or accustomed phrases
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows dynamic selection and customization of conversion results. Users can interact with the converted terms to select preferred expressions or adjust conversion parameters, making the conversion process adaptive to individual user preferences rather than static and automated only
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables changing parameters of the conversion process, such as selecting different conversion modes (e.g., technical term to layman's term, or to specific phrase patterns). Users can adjust conversion parameters to match their preferred expression style, overcoming the limitation of fixed automated conversion
2Measurement precision
If technical terms like internal rotation, external rotation, adduction, and abduction are used for positioning correction, then the correction direction is precisely specified, but experts also have difficulty in instantaneously understanding these terms
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary conversion layer that translates precise technical terms into user-friendly expressions. The conversion unit acts as a mediator between the precise technical terminology and the user's understanding, providing both accuracy and accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the conversion process into multiple options or categories. Instead of a single conversion result, users can select from different expression styles or levels of detail, allowing them to choose the most appropriate level of technicality for their needs
3Productivity
If conventional text processing is used to replace words, then the conversion is automated, but the resulting phrases are not accustomed by users and do not match preferred expressions
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic conversion options where users can interact with the converted text to select preferred phrases. The conversion process remains automated but becomes adaptable to user preferences through interactive selection or parameter adjustment
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where users can indicate their preference for certain expressions. This feedback is used to refine future conversions, ensuring that the automated process increasingly matches user preferences while maintaining high conversion speed

AI summary
An imaging support device includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor, acquires first imaging support information which is first information for changing a position of a subject or an imaging device configured to image a medical image of the subject, changes the first imaging support information to second imaging support information which is second information for changing a position of the subject or the imaging device, and outputs the second imaging support information.
