Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current medical devices require manual operation by medical staff to position them accurately, which is time-consuming and dependent on the operator's experience.
Innovation Solution
A motion control method for medical devices that involves obtaining a target position, determining a target motion path based on the current and target positions, and controlling the device to move along that path, potentially using a C-arm device with a gantry and C-arm connected.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is used to position the medical device, then the device can be positioned with human judgment and adaptability, but it requires a lot of time and depends on operator experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operation with an automated control system that uses sensors to detect the patient's body shape and automatically calculates and executes the optimal positioning path, eliminating the need for manual time-consuming adjustments
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-positioning by automatically detecting patient characteristics through sensors, computing the optimal path, and executing movement without requiring continuous human intervention or expertise
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual operation is used to control the medical device, then flexibility in handling different cases is maintained, but it requires high operator expertise and experience
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses sensors to continuously detect patient body shape and positioning status, providing real-time feedback that enables automatic adjustment and optimization of the positioning path for different patient cases without requiring operator expertise
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically adapts to different patient cases by detecting variations in body shape parameters and adjusting the positioning parameters accordingly, providing versatility without requiring operator knowledge
3Productivity
If automated motion control is implemented, then positioning time is reduced and operational efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a control system as an intermediary between the sensors and the medical device, which automatically processes the detected information and executes positioning commands, achieving automation while managing system complexity through modular architecture

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a medical device and a control system. The control system may achieve a motion control of the medical device: obtaining a target position of the medical device, determining a target motion path of the medical device according to a current position and the target position of the medical device, and controlling the medical device to move from the current position to the target position along the target motion path. The control system may also perform an information registration control method for the medical device: obtaining load change information related to the medical device, and determining an operation instruction related to a registration record of the medical device based on the load change information and a preset change condition. The medical device may include a radiation source, a detector, a C-arm, and a display.
