Medical Image Processing Device for Incidental Information Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional medical image processing devices face challenges in displaying and accessing detailed incidental information, such as patient data and examination details, which are often restricted or require complex operations, especially when there are compatibility issues with medical image management standards.
Innovation Solution
A medical image processing device generates an incidental information image in an independent frame from the primary image, allowing for easy viewing and processing of this information as a series of images alongside the medical images, without requiring additional functions or operations, and ensures compatibility across different standards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If incidental information is displayed in a restricted region on the screen together with the inside image, then the space for displaying incidental information is limited, but the display layout is simple
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display into two independent frames: the inside image frame and the incidental information image frame. This segmentation allows the incidental information to be displayed in a separate, dedicated space rather than being constrained within the limited region of the original screen layout, thereby increasing display space while maintaining layout simplicity through standardized frame structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from displaying incidental information within the same二维 space as the inside image to creating a separate frame dimension. By generating an independent incidental information image that can be displayed in its own frame, the system effectively adds a dimensional layer to the display architecture, expanding the available display area without complicating the overall layout structure.
2Loss of information
If detailed incidental information is displayed in the examination list, then the information completeness is improved, but the display space becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts incidental information from the examination list display and places it in a separate incidental information image frame. This extraction allows the examination list to maintain its compact format with essential information, while detailed incidental information becomes accessible in the dedicated frame, thereby achieving information completeness without compromising display space in the examination list.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary structure - the incidental information image - that mediates between the examination list and the detailed incidental information. This intermediary allows comprehensive information to be displayed without directly expanding the examination list, as the incidental information image serves as a bridge that provides access to detailed data while maintaining the original list's compact layout.
3Loss of information
If identification information is recorded as display screen data during examination, then the information is preserved, but complex operations are required to access it
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by automatically capturing and organizing incidental information into a structured incidental information image during the examination process. This pre-processing eliminates the need for complex operations later, as the information is already formatted and ready for display in the independent frame, requiring only simple selection or automatic display actions to access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically generating and organizing the incidental information image without requiring manual intervention. The device itself performs the information capture, formatting, and presentation tasks, eliminating the need for users to execute complex operations to access or manipulate the identification information.
4Area of stationary object
If incidental information is displayed in the restricted region, then the display is compact, but only supplementary information can be shown
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the display into separate frames for inside images and incidental information, the patent enables each frame to be optimized for its specific purpose. The incidental information frame can display detailed, comprehensive data without being constrained by the limited space requirements of the inside image display, thereby achieving both compact overall layout and detailed information presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses dimensional separation to resolve the space-information conflict. By moving incidental information to an independent frame dimension, the system provides sufficient display area for detailed information while maintaining the compact structure of the original inside image display, effectively solving both requirements simultaneously through spatial separation.

AI summary
An ultrasonic apparatus images incidental information including at least either subject information or examination information to generate an incidental information image, and executes information processing of the incidental information image as an independent frame from a series of ultrasonic images as well as information processing to form the incidental information image as a series of images with the ultrasonic images.
