Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If real-time 3D volume data and navigation images are superimposed on endoscope images, then surgical precision and safety are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines pre-operative 3D volume data with real-time endoscope images through superimposition, merging planning information with execution visualization to enhance surgical precision while integrating multiple data streams into a unified display system
Solution Approach 2:
The operation supporting device acts as an intermediary system that processes and integrates data from multiple sources (pre-operative imaging, real-time endoscope, navigation systems) and presents synthesized information to the surgeon, reducing the cognitive load of managing multiple separate systems
2Productivity
If real-time data processing and scene recognition are implemented during surgery, then operational efficiency is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs pre-operative data processing and 3D volume reconstruction before the surgical procedure begins, transferring computational workload to the pre-operative phase to reduce real-time energy consumption during surgery while maintaining operational efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The operation supporting device maintains continuous real-time data processing and scene recognition throughout the surgical procedure, ensuring uninterrupted navigation and feedback without requiring repeated initialization, thereby optimizing energy utilization over the course of the operation

AI summary
A processor of an operation supporting device acquires pre-operation data including position information of a feature portion of an inside of a body cavity of a subject, which is generated before an operation, and a procedure in the operation, which is planned before the operation, and acquires an endoscope image generated in the operation. The processor generates real-time data including real-time position information of the feature portion of the inside of the body cavity, based at least on the pre-operation data and the endoscope image, and generates an image to be displayed on the endoscope image in a superimposed manner, based on the real-time data. The processor recognizes a real-time scene based at least on the procedure planned before the operation and the real-time data.
