Radiation Image Reception Status Display for Complete Examinations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In radiation imaging systems, it can be difficult for operators to grasp the reception status of processed images obtained from external processing apparatuses, leading to incomplete examination results if unreceived or unconfirmed processed images are not reflected.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus and method that includes a reception unit to receive processing information from external processing apparatuses and a display control unit to display the reception status and determination results on a display unit, ensuring operators can track and confirm the processing information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple external processing apparatuses are used to process radiation images, then the processing capability and versatility are improved, but it becomes difficult for operators to grasp the reception status of processed images
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism by displaying the reception status of processed images on the radiation imaging apparatus. The display control unit shows whether processed images from external processing apparatuses have been successfully received, providing continuous feedback to operators about the processing state without requiring them to manually check each external apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The radiation imaging apparatus acts as an intermediary between multiple external processing apparatuses and the operator. It centralizes the reception status information from various external sources and presents it in a unified display interface, eliminating the need for operators to directly monitor multiple external systems.
2Ease of operation
If processed images from external processing apparatuses are not monitored, then the system operation is simple, but examination results may be incomplete if unreceived images are not reflected
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically monitoring and displaying the reception status of processed images without requiring active operator intervention. The display control unit continuously updates the status information, allowing the system to manage its own processing state visibility while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
Automatic feedback is provided to operators regarding the reception status of processed images. The system independently tracks whether images from external processing apparatuses have been received and displays this information, ensuring examination completeness without adding operational complexity.
3Device complexity
If the reception status of processed images is not displayed, then the device complexity is low, but operators cannot confirm whether all necessary processing information has been received
Solution Approach 1:
The display system segments the reception status information into distinct visual indicators for different processed images from external processing apparatuses. Each processed image's reception status is displayed separately, allowing operators to easily identify which images have been received and which are pending without creating a complex overall system.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus for processing a radiation image, includes: a reception unit configured to receive processing information obtained by processing of the radiation image by an external processing apparatus; and a display control unit configured to control displaying at least one of a reception status of the processing information and a determination result of the reception status on a display unit.
