Radiology Image Management System Dynamic Analysis Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dynamic imaging systems waste resources and increase load on analysis apparatuses due to performing analysis on images that cannot achieve necessary resolution, and lack determination of appropriate analysis processing at the time of imaging.
Innovation Solution
A management apparatus and system that includes an image database, image management information database, and a determiner to assess whether imaging apparatuses can perform dynamic analysis processing based on quality control information, determining if dynamic analysis is executable on stored images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If dynamic analysis processing is performed on all imaged images, then comprehensive analysis coverage is achieved, but resource waste increases and load on analysis apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary quality assessment of imaged images before dynamic analysis processing by checking quality control information stored in the quality control information DB. This preliminary action determines whether images meet the necessary resolution and quality standards for analysis, preventing wasteful processing of unsuitable images and reducing load on the dynamic analysis processing apparatus while ensuring only qualified images undergo analysis.
2Productivity
If quality control information is stored and checked for each image, then processing efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system stores quality control information (such as resolution and quality metrics) as data copies in the quality control information DB at the time of imaging. Instead of performing complex real-time quality assessments during analysis, the system uses these pre-stored quality copies to quickly determine whether images are suitable for dynamic analysis, thereby improving processing efficiency without significantly increasing system complexity.
