Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional radiation image display apparatuses require significant time and effort to compare dynamic images due to the need to switch between multiple images and apply various image processing techniques, making it difficult to efficiently analyze and diagnose using dynamic imaging data.
Innovation Solution
A radiation image display apparatus equipped with a hardware processor that acquires and displays image data of dynamic images, analysis dynamic images, and related dynamic images, allowing for simultaneous display and comparison of these images, along with features like alpha blending and mark-based selection to facilitate easier comparison.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple dynamic images are displayed simultaneously for comparison, then diagnostic efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple independent display regions, each showing a different dynamic image (original dynamic image, analysis dynamic image, related dynamic image). This segmentation allows simultaneous display of multiple images without requiring complex switching mechanisms, thereby improving diagnostic efficiency while keeping the display system manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus is designed to handle multiple types of dynamic images (original, analysis, related) and various image processing functions within a single integrated system. This multi-functionality approach consolidates what could be multiple separate devices into one universal display system, improving efficiency without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Device complexity
If conventional switching display method is used to compare dynamic images, then device complexity is reduced, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of switching between images in time (sequential display), the system displays multiple images simultaneously in different spatial regions of the screen. This transition from temporal to spatial dimension allows diagnosticians to compare all necessary images at once, dramatically reducing comparison time while the switching mechanism remains simple.
3Illumination intensity
If various image processing techniques are applied to dynamic images, then viewability of imaging target region is improved, but the number of images to compare increases
Solution Approach 1:
Different display regions are allocated for different types of images based on their specific diagnostic value. The system applies image processing techniques selectively to enhance specific regions or features within each image type, allowing diagnosticians to focus on locally enhanced areas without being overwhelmed by the total number of images.

AI summary
A radiation image display apparatus that constitutes a radiation imaging system includes a displayer and a hardware processor that acquires image data of a dynamic image constituted of a plurality of frame images, image data of an analysis dynamic image obtained by applying predetermined image processing to the image data of the dynamic image and image data of a related dynamic image which is related to the dynamic image or the analysis dynamic image respectively, and causes the displayer to display the related dynamic image together with the dynamic image and the analysis dynamic image.
