Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If protocols are arranged in the order transmitted from the doctor without rearrangement, then the protocol list is simple and easy to manage, but the moving line of the radiography device and examinee is not minimized, leading to reduced productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device performs preliminary rearrangement of the protocol list based on position information and detector types before the radiography process begins. This preliminary organization optimizes the moving line of the radiography device and examinee, allowing efficient image capturing without requiring manual rearrangement during the procedure.
2Loss of time
If the protocol list is transmitted from the doctor without consideration of moving line, then the protocol transmission is simple, but the moving line of radiography device and examinee increases, leading to time loss
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically performs the rearrangement of protocols based on position information and detector types without requiring manual intervention from the radiological technologist. The system serves itself by intelligently organizing the protocol list to minimize moving line, reducing both time loss and operational complexity.
3Productivity
If protocols are rearranged based on position information and detector types, then the moving line is minimized and productivity improves, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device replaces manual mechanical rearrangement of protocols with an automated computational system. The processor automatically analyzes position information and detector types to generate an optimized protocol sequence, substituting manual operations with electronic processing that improves productivity while managing complexity through automation.
4Loss of time
If the radiological technologist manually identifies completed protocols from the original list, then the protocol tracking is simple, but it becomes difficult to identify completed protocols, leading to loss of time
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device visually distinguishes completed protocols from pending protocols in the protocol list, allowing the radiological technologist to quickly identify which protocols have been completed. This visual differentiation reduces the time required to track protocol completion status.
