Medical Image Report Schema Visualization for Diagnostic Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Doctors in diagnosis and treatment departments face challenges in quickly understanding image scanning reports due to the descriptive nature of the reports, which can lead to misinterpretation and prolonged comprehension time, as they differ from the radiological technologists' distinctive and often tedious sentence expressions.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that extract observation information and site information from image scanning reports, displaying them on a schema imitating the shape of the sample, allowing for visual and intuitive comprehension of medical conditions by associating observation information with corresponding positions on the schema.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the image scanning report is displayed in the original text format described by the radiological technologist, then the complete inspection information is preserved, but the doctor requires more time to comprehend the content and may misunderstand due to distinctive and tedious sentence expressions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the continuous text of the image scanning report into discrete observation items and site information. The extraction unit separates observation information (what is observed) from site information (where it is located), transforming the original paragraph-form report into structured, segmented data that can be displayed in an organized manner on the schema, thereby improving comprehension accuracy and reducing diagnostic time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system consisting of the extraction unit and display control unit. This intermediary automatically extracts key information from the radiological technologist's report and transforms it into a standardized format that is easier for doctors to understand, acting as a mediator between the original report and the doctor's comprehension process
2Reliability
If the image scanning report uses detailed sentence expressions to describe medical conditions, then the inspection details are comprehensive, but the doctor finds it tedious and time-consuming to read and understand
Solution Approach 1:
The extraction unit extracts only the essential observation information and site information from the detailed sentence expressions in the original report. By taking out the key diagnostic elements and removing redundant descriptive language, the system maintains diagnostic accuracy while significantly improving diagnostic efficiency through a more concise presentation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of information presentation from detailed textual descriptions to structured visual display on a schema. The display control unit transforms the format of information delivery, changing how observation information and site information are presented to the doctor, thereby improving both reliability and productivity

AI summary
An extraction unit extracts observation information and site information of a sample associated with the observation information from at least information on an image scanning report including an image scanning result of a medical image of the sample obtained by inspection. A display control unit controls a display unit to display a schema imitating the shape of the sample and at least the observation information extracted corresponding to a position of the site in the schema.
