Medical Image Processing Device Automatic Display Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In medical systems, particularly in endoscopic surgery, the current image display management is inflexible, requiring users to manually select monitors based on their roles and the surgical situation, which is burdensome and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A medical image processing device and method that acquires application information related to the display and performs image processing accordingly, automatically adjusting the image display based on the user's role or situation, such as for attending doctors, assistants, or medical personnel, by using a camera control unit and an AV controller to distribute images with appropriate resolution and additional information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual monitor selection is implemented, then users can choose appropriate displays, but user burden increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically acquires application information and performs image processing based on that information without requiring manual user intervention. The medical image processing device self-adjusts display parameters according to the detected application context, eliminating the need for users to manually select monitors or configure display settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts image processing parameters based on changing application information. As the surgical situation or user role changes, the system automatically adjusts display characteristics in real-time, providing dynamic adaptability without requiring static pre-configuration or manual reselection.
2Ease of operation
If automatic monitor selection based on image dimension is implemented, then user burden is reduced, but display flexibility for different applications is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes multiple display parameters simultaneously based on application information, not just image dimension. This includes adjusting image processing characteristics, resolution, and content according to the detected application context, thereby achieving both automatic operation and application-specific flexibility through comprehensive parameter adaptation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple monitors are used for different roles, then display functionality is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The medical image processing device serves multiple functions by automatically adapting to different applications and user roles through a single integrated system. Rather than requiring separate configuration systems for different monitors and roles, one device performs image processing and display management for all scenarios, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining role-specific functionality.
