Medical Imaging Position Control for Facility-Specific Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical image capturing apparatuses lack the ability to individually adjust the imaging position based on facility or operator-specific policies and experiences, necessitating manual adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A medical image capturing apparatus and control method that utilize a camera image acquisition unit, imaging position setting unit, and storage unit to adjust the imaging position based on facility or operator-specific adjustment data, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated imaging position setting is implemented using uniform standards, then productivity is improved, but adaptability deteriorates because individual facility or operator preferences cannot be accommodated
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the user base into different facilities and operators, storing separate adjustment data for each entity in the storage unit. This allows the automated system to retrieve and apply facility-specific or operator-specific parameters, maintaining both automation efficiency and individual adaptability simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing optimal adjustment data for each facility and operator based on their historical preferences and requirements. When imaging begins, the system automatically retrieves and applies the pre-configured parameters without requiring real-time manual adjustment, thus achieving both automation and personalization
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual adjustment of imaging position is required for each facility and operator, then adaptability is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to increased operator burden and time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically selecting and applying the appropriate adjustment data based on the identified facility or operator. The system serves itself by retrieving pre-stored parameters and configuring the imaging position without human intervention, thereby maintaining adaptability while eliminating manual adjustment overhead
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where adjustment data is continuously refined based on operator actions and imaging outcomes. The stored adjustment data is updated and optimized over time based on usage patterns, allowing the system to learn and improve its automatic positioning accuracy while maintaining individualized settings
