Medical Image System Dynamic UI Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current medical imaging systems require excessive user interaction for inspecting regions of interest, which can be cumbersome and inefficient for clinicians.
Innovation Solution
A system that automatically detects regions of interest in medical images, determines anatomical properties, and dynamically adjusts the display configuration of user interface elements based on these properties to streamline the inspection process, allowing for more intuitive and relevant actions to be readily accessible.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the medical imaging system provides comprehensive user interface elements for all possible inspection actions, then the system offers complete functionality for interactive inspection, but the user interface becomes complex and requires excessive user interaction
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting the region of interest and determining its anatomical property before the user interacts with the interface. This pre-processing allows the system to proactively configure the user interface elements according to the detected anatomical property, rather than waiting for user selection. The user interface elements are prepared and arranged in advance based on the anatomical context, reducing the interaction burden on the user while maintaining comprehensive functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The user interface configuration is made dynamic by adapting it based on the detected anatomical property of the region of interest. The display configuration of user interface elements changes dynamically according to the anatomical context, showing only the most relevant actions for the detected anatomy. This dynamic adaptation allows the interface to be simple and context-appropriate while still providing access to comprehensive functionality when needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system displays all user interface elements for interactive inspection, then complete inspection actions are available, but the relevant information becomes difficult to find among too many options
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface applies local quality by customizing the display configuration according to the specific anatomical property of the detected region. Instead of a uniform interface for all cases, the system tailors the visibility, arrangement, and priority of user interface elements to match the local anatomical context. This ensures that the most relevant inspection actions are prominently displayed and easily accessible, while less relevant options are minimized or hidden, improving information accessibility without sacrificing action availability.
3Ease of operation
If the system requires manual selection and configuration of inspection parameters, then the user has full control over the inspection process, but the inspection time and user effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting the region of interest and determining its anatomical property without requiring manual user input. The system autonomously configures the appropriate user interface elements and inspection parameters based on the detected anatomy, eliminating the need for users to manually select and configure each parameter. This automation maintains user control through the interface while dramatically reducing the time and effort required for the inspection process.
