Radiation Image Display Order Control via Preliminary Action
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In radiation imaging systems, the reception order of externally processed images from external processing apparatuses may not match the transmission order of the original radiation images, leading to display order issues and decreased user operability during image confirmation.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus is configured with an obtaining unit to receive processed images from external processing apparatuses and a control unit to manage and display these images in a predetermined order based on their corresponding imaging methods, ensuring correct display order regardless of the reception order.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If externally processed images are received from multiple external processing apparatuses, then more processed images are available for diagnosis, but the reception order may not match the transmission order of original images, causing display order issues
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by assigning display order information to each processed image at the time of reception, based on the transmission order of the corresponding original radiation images. This pre-arranged ordering ensures that when images are later displayed, they appear in the correct sequence without requiring user intervention to reorder them.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the display order of processed images is automatically adjusted based on the transmission order information of their corresponding original images. The control unit receives feedback about the reception order mismatch and automatically corrects the display sequence, ensuring that the final display reflects the intended transmission order.
2Device complexity
If processed images are displayed in reception order, then display is simple, but the order does not match the transmission order of original images, leading to incorrect image recognition
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism - display order information - that mediates between the reception order of processed images and the transmission order of original images. This intermediary layer allows the system to receive images in any order while ensuring they are displayed in the correct transmission order, maintaining both simplicity and reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple imaging methods are used to capture radiation images, then more diagnostic information is obtained, but the reception order of processed images does not match the transmission order
Solution Approach 1:
When radiation images are transmitted to external processing apparatuses using different imaging methods, the system performs preliminary action by assigning display order information based on the transmission order before the images are processed. This ensures that even though images from different imaging methods may be received in a different order, the original transmission sequence is preserved in the display.
