Medical Image Template Generation for Monitor Arrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical imaging systems face inefficiencies in arranging multiple image series on monitors, particularly when the number of image series is large, as they rely on fixed templates or rule-based approaches that become less effective with increasing complexity and individualized requirements.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method for generating and using templates to arrange medical images on monitors by allowing users to select and arrange initial objects at desired places, assigning features to these places, and determining similarity to optimize image placement, enabling efficient and customizable template creation and use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If fixed templates or rule-based approaches are used for arranging image series, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the system becomes inefficient when dealing with large numbers of image series or individualized requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to automatically generate templates by arranging image series themselves through drag-and-drop operations. The arrangement behavior is automatically converted into template rules without requiring manual programming or complex configuration, allowing users to serve themselves in template creation while maintaining system efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of user arrangement behaviors to automatically generate template rules. By capturing and analyzing the preliminary arrangement actions users perform when organizing image series, the system proactively creates reusable templates that adapt to individual needs before they are even requested
2Quantity of substance
If the number of image series increases to ten or more, then more comprehensive imaging information is available, but existing template systems become increasingly inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
Once users arrange image series in a satisfactory configuration, the system automatically creates a template copy of this arrangement. This template can then be reused for future arrangements with similar requirements, eliminating the need to manually re-arrange numerous image series and maintaining efficiency even as the quantity of image series grows
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates universal templates that can serve multiple purposes and different user needs. A single template generated from one arrangement can be applied to multiple similar cases, allowing the system to efficiently handle large numbers of image series across different examinations and users
