Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual point drawing and additional calculations are performed for each parameter measurement, then measurement precision can be maintained, but operational complexity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes multiple measurement models corresponding to different examination items before actual measurement. Each model contains predefined measurement points and calculation parameters. When a doctor selects an examination item, the corresponding pre-configured model is automatically activated, eliminating the need for manual point-by-point drawing and calculation during the examination process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically performs parameter calculations based on the selected measurement model and acquired ultrasound images. The calculation unit computes multiple parameters simultaneously using the pre-established models, reducing manual intervention. The system serves itself by automatically selecting models, processing images, and generating measurement results without requiring operators to perform repetitive manual drawing and calculation tasks.
2Measurement precision
If multiple parameters are measured by drawing points for each item, then comprehensive measurement coverage is achieved, but measurement consistency deteriorates due to repetitive manual operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple measurement models into a unified measurement framework. Different examination items share common measurement points and calculation methodologies defined in the pre-established models. When measuring multiple parameters, the system combines results from integrated models rather than performing separate independent measurements, ensuring consistency across all parameters while reducing redundant operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables continuous automated measurement and calculation across multiple parameters once a measurement model is selected. The calculation unit continuously processes ultrasound images and computes all required parameters in sequence without interrupting the measurement flow. This continuous automated process eliminates the start-stop nature of manual measurements, maintaining consistency while significantly reducing total measurement time.
3Loss of information
If additional calculations are performed to obtain changes and relative relationships between parameters, then diagnostic information is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pre-established measurement models are designed to be multi-functional, capable of calculating multiple parameters and their relationships simultaneously. A single measurement model can derive absolute parameter values, changes between parameters, and relative relationships all at once. This universal approach provides comprehensive diagnostic information without requiring separate calculation modules for each type of analysis, thereby limiting the increase in system complexity.
