Multi-Modality Medical Data Segmentation and Enhancement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-modality medical processing systems face challenges in effectively handling and processing data from various diagnostic and sensing modalities, leading to difficulties in recognizing, separating, indexing, and presenting relevant data in a unified and coherent manner, which hinders accurate diagnostic conclusions.
Innovation Solution
The system enhances data handling by allowing on-demand enhancement and measurement of medical data across different modalities, enabling operators to select areas for enhancement, perform precise measurements, and display enhanced data separately or combined, using a multi-modality processing system with a user interface that supports gesture-based inputs and data manipulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple imaging modalities are collected and processed in a unified system, then diagnostic accuracy is improved, but data complexity and processing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments medical data into distinct modality-specific data sets (e.g., angiography data, IVUS data, OCT data) that can be independently processed and enhanced. Each data set is handled through separate enhancement operations, allowing complex multi-modality data to be managed through modular, manageable segments rather than as a monolithic complex structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that receives data from multiple modalities, applies coordinated enhancement operations, and produces unified output. This intermediary layer acts as a mediator between the diverse input modalities and the final diagnostic display, simplifying the integration process by standardizing how different data types are enhanced and combined.
2Loss of information
If data enhancement is applied to improve clarity and diagnostic views, then information quality is improved, but system resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies data enhancement selectively and partially rather than uniformly to all data. Enhancement operations are applied only to specific data sets or regions that require improvement, allowing the system to maintain information quality where needed while avoiding unnecessary resource consumption in areas where enhancement is not required.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically adjusts enhancement parameters based on the specific characteristics of each data set and diagnostic requirements. By changing enhancement parameters (such as enhancement type, intensity, and application region) rather than applying fixed enhancement to all data, the system optimizes the balance between information quality and resource consumption.
3Adaptability or versatility
If on-demand enhancement and measurement capabilities are added, then operational flexibility is improved, but interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic enhancement and measurement capabilities that adapt to user needs in real-time. The system allows operators to select and apply different enhancement operations on-demand based on specific diagnostic requirements, and measurement capabilities are dynamically activated when needed. This dynamic approach provides operational flexibility while managing interface complexity through context-aware, adaptive interactions.

AI summary
Systems and methods for multi-modality data processing are provided. Some embodiments are particularly directed to enhancing and measuring multi-modality medical data. In one embodiment, a method for enhancing medical data in a medical processing system includes receiving, by the medical processing system, a reference set of medical data. The reference set of medical data may be display on a first user display. A region identifier, which corresponds to a region to be enhanced, is received along with an enhancement selection. A target set of data is identified based on the received region identifier and the received enhancement selection, and the medical processing system performs an enhancement corresponding to the enhancement selection upon the target set of data. The enhanced target set of data may be displayed on a second user display, the second user display being different from the first user display.
