Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual measurement tools are used to collect datasets for training machine learning models, then the models can be trained for specific radiology tasks, but the process becomes time-consuming and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-training of machine learning models by utilizing existing clinical workflow data without requiring manual annotation. The tool generation unit automatically generates training datasets from routine clinical measurements, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual data collection while maintaining model training quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data preparation and tool generation in advance by automatically creating training datasets from existing clinical data. This preliminary action prepares the models before actual clinical use, reducing the time required for both data collection and model deployment
2Device complexity
If a single universal detector is used for all clinical measurements, then the system complexity is reduced, but rare findings may be missed causing false negatives
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the detection task by automatically generating multiple specialized data analysis tools, each optimized for specific radiology findings or measurement types. This segmentation allows the system to maintain low overall complexity while achieving high detection accuracy for rare findings through specialized detectors
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts the number and type of detectors based on the specific clinical task and data characteristics. The tool generation unit can create or select appropriate detectors on-demand, allowing the system to balance complexity and accuracy dynamically rather than being fixed
3Reliability
If multiple specialized data analysis tools are generated for different medical findings, then detection accuracy improves, but the system complexity and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The tool generation unit serves as a universal component that can generate multiple types of specialized detectors through a single automated process. This multi-functional approach allows the system to maintain high detection accuracy across different findings while managing complexity through a unified tool generation mechanism rather than separate development processes
