Medical Document Display Control Apparatus for Real-Time Information Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Medical document display systems fail to promptly show operators like radiologists the information they need, as existing systems prioritize displaying only high-importance items, potentially hiding essential accessory information based on the medical image analysis results.
Innovation Solution
A medical document display control apparatus and method that receives observation information, acquires relevant relation information in real-time, and displays it on a user interface, allowing for the display of anatomically classified regions or family medical history information, enabling operators to access current and desired information instantly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If all accessory information items are displayed on the screen, then the operator can access any information, but it becomes difficult to understand where essential items are displayed and to grasp contents of essential items
Solution Approach 1:
The accessory information is segmented into essential items and non-essential items, with essential items displayed in a prominent first region and non-essential items displayed in a secondary region. This segmentation allows operators to easily identify and grasp essential information while still having access to non-essential information, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and information visibility.
2Ease of operation
If only items having higher importance are displayed on the screen in order of priority, then essential information is prominently displayed, but the accessory information currently desired by the operator may not be displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The display system dynamically adjusts based on operator input. When the operator inputs observation information, the system acquires relation information and displays it in the first region. The system also allows manual specification of desired information items, which are then displayed in the first region regardless of predetermined importance ranking. This dynamic adaptation ensures that currently desired information is prominently displayed, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and adaptability.
3Productivity
If predetermined importance-based display is used, then the display structure is simple, but the system cannot respond to real-time operator needs based on medical image analysis results
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by acquiring relation information in advance based on observation information input by the operator. The relation information is prepared and displayed before the operator needs it, enabling real-time response. The system proactively acquires and displays relevant information such as anatomically classified region names or family medical history based on the observation information, reducing the complexity of real-time processing by performing actions beforehand.
4Adaptability or versatility
If all accessory information is displayed regardless of relevance to medical image analysis, then comprehensive information is available, but the system cannot prioritize information based on medical image findings
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from the operator's observation information input to dynamically adjust the display. When the operator inputs observation information about a medical image, the system acquires relation information relevant to that observation and displays it in the first region. This feedback mechanism enables the system to prioritize and display information based on the actual medical image findings, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and information relevance.

AI summary
The medical document display control apparatus includes a reception unit that receives observation information on a subject, an acquisition unit that acquires relation information on an analysis result obtained by immediately analyzing the observation information received by the reception unit, and a display control unit that immediately displays the relation information acquired by the acquisition unit on a display unit.
