Peer-to-Peer Injection System Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Central server-based data management systems for injection systems are inefficient, insecure, and not scalable, particularly for smaller imaging sites with limited resources and connectivity, leading to delayed data updates and increased complexity.
Innovation Solution
A peer-to-peer data exchange system where injection systems share and manage their own subsets of injection control data sets, allowing for decentralized data management, local updates, and secure communication without relying on a central server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a central server is deployed to manage data for multiple injection systems, then data management efficiency and supervisory capabilities are improved, but device complexity and adoption challenges increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized data management function into distributed peer-to-peer communication capabilities across multiple injection systems. Each system maintains local data storage and can share data directly with other systems in the network, eliminating the need for a single central server while maintaining data management efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The injection systems are designed with multi-functional capabilities, serving both as data consumers and data providers in the peer-to-peer network. Each system can store, retrieve, and share injection control data sets, eliminating the need for a separate central server infrastructure.
2Reliability
If a central server is used for data management, then review and supervisory capabilities are improved, but data update delays and availability issues occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads and caches injection control data sets locally at each injection system before they are needed. This preliminary action ensures that data is immediately available for use without requiring real-time connection to a central server, eliminating data update delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The peer-to-peer network implements feedback mechanisms where systems automatically share data updates with other systems in the network. When one system receives or generates updated data, it propagates these updates to peers, ensuring all systems have current data without centralized coordination delays.
3Productivity
If processing resources are centralized on a server, then data management control is improved, but processing bandwidth and update speed are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the processing resources of multiple injection systems into a distributed computing network. Each system contributes its local processing capacity to the overall data management function, collectively providing greater processing power than any single central server could deliver while enabling faster data updates across the network.
4Reliability
If a central server model is implemented, then data management capability is improved, but security and network control are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements local quality control by allowing each injection system to maintain local security policies and data access controls tailored to its specific needs. Each system can independently manage its own security credentials and data protection measures while participating in the broader peer-to-peer network, enhancing overall system security.

AI summary
A method, system, and computer program product for peer exchange of data between injection systems. A first injection system may store a plurality of injection control data sets, determine a first subset of the plurality of injection control data sets according to which the first injection system is configured to control delivery of fluid to a patient, provide the first subset of the plurality of injection control data sets for selection of an injection control data set for use in delivering fluid to the patient with the first injection system, and transmit the plurality of injection control data sets to at least one second injection system.
