Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data link detection is performed before scanning, then scanning failure is prevented, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs data link detection before actual scanning operations to identify and resolve potential data transmission issues in advance. The detection process verifies data link connectivity and integrity between PET and CT components, ensuring reliable data transmission during subsequent scanning procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a data processing system as an intermediary that coordinates between PET and CT subsystems. This mediator manages data link detection, monitors transmission status, and handles error correction, thereby preventing scanning failures without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If data link detection is performed before scanning, then patient radiation exposure is reduced, but detection time is added
Solution Approach 1:
The data link detection is performed in advance before patient scanning begins, ensuring that any data transmission problems are identified and resolved before the actual medical imaging procedure. This prevents repeated scanning attempts that would increase patient radiation exposure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-diagnosis through automated data link detection and error identification. The data processing system automatically monitors transmission status and initiates error correction procedures without requiring manual intervention, minimizing the time added to the overall process.
3Loss of substance
If data link detection is performed before scanning, then resource waste is reduced, but system operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs data link detection before scanning to ensure all data transmission paths are functional. This prevents wasted resources from incomplete or erroneous data collection during scanning, avoiding the need to repeat procedures and conserve medical imaging resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The data processing system continuously monitors data link status and provides feedback on transmission quality. When errors are detected, the system automatically initiates correction procedures and retransmits data, ensuring complete and accurate data collection without manual intervention.
Data Source
AI summary
A data link detection method is disclosed. The method includes: determining a target data sub-link in a data link, the data link including at least one data sub-link; sending a detection instruction to a sending component in the target data sub-link to instruct the sending component to send detection data to a receiving component in the target data sub-link for detection; and receiving a detection result corresponding to the target data sub-link. A PET/CT imaging system and a readable storage medium are disclosed.
