Solution Overview
Problem
Current diagnostic methods for bone and muscle-related disorders, such as X-ray, MRI, and CT scans, suffer from low accuracy and human subjectivity, leading to ineffective treatment and potential worsening of medical conditions.
Innovation Solution
A multi-input Convolutional Neural Network (MI-CNN) system that processes and analyzes medical imaging data from various sources, including EMG, X-Ray, MRI, and Ultrasonography, to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations by implementing normalization, standardization, and deep learning techniques for feature extraction and classification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional diagnostic methods (X-ray, MRI, CT scan) are used, then medical imaging data can be obtained, but diagnostic accuracy is low and human subjectivity affects results
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical diagnostic process with an automated Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) system. The CNN algorithm automatically processes medical imaging data (X-ray, MRI, CT scans) to detect bone and muscle disorders, eliminating human subjectivity and improving diagnostic accuracy through consistent automated feature extraction and classification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy of the diagnostic process through training the CNN model on labeled medical imaging datasets. The trained model replicates expert diagnostic reasoning by learning from numerous examples, enabling consistent and accurate diagnosis without human intervention while preserving the diagnostic knowledge embedded in the training data.
2Measurement precision
If multiple types of medical imaging data are processed, then diagnostic accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple types of medical imaging data (X-ray, MRI, CT scans) into a unified CNN processing framework. The system accepts various imaging modalities as input and processes them through the same neural network architecture, combining their diagnostic information to improve overall accuracy while maintaining a consistent and manageable system structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The CNN model is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple imaging modalities. The same network architecture can process different types of medical images by learning modality-specific features automatically, eliminating the need for separate processing systems for each imaging type and reducing overall system complexity.
3Extent of automation
If automated diagnosis system is implemented, then human intervention is minimized, but implementation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The CNN system performs self-service by automatically learning diagnostic patterns from training data and independently making diagnostic decisions without human intervention. The model self-adjusts its parameters during training and can autonomously process new medical images, reducing the need for manual diagnostic work while the standardized implementation keeps complexity manageable.
