Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Veterinarians lack systematic professional training for using veterinary DR devices, and positioning animals for multiple body positions is complicated, requiring significant user intervention and affecting efficiency and concentration.
Innovation Solution
A veterinary DR device with an X-ray emission and receiving module, imaging module, memory, and processor that provides guidance information for multiple body positions, automatically displaying next positions after image capture, allowing users to focus on posture adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If medical care personnel manually control postures or positions of animals and operate the veterinary DR device separately, then the positioning can be adjusted, but the work becomes complicated and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the animal positioning control function with the DR device operation into an integrated system. The control unit receives positioning information and automatically adjusts the animal's posture and position while coordinating with the imaging module to capture images at multiple body positions, eliminating the need for separate manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automatic positioning and image capturing by having the control unit process positioning information and autonomously control the imaging module to capture images at predetermined body positions, reducing reliance on continuous manual intervention and improving operational efficiency.
2Measurement precision
If medical care personnel need to find corresponding information to assist in determining positioning correctness, then accuracy can be improved, but time consumption increases and concentration is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores positioning information for multiple body positions in the control unit before the imaging process begins. This positioning information is prepared in advance and automatically retrieved during operation, eliminating the need for personnel to search for reference information during the procedure.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit compares real-time positioning data with pre-stored reference information to automatically determine whether positioning is correct, providing immediate feedback without requiring personnel to manually check references, thus maintaining accuracy while saving time.
3Reliability
If continuous images of animals in multiple body positions are captured manually, then complete diagnostic data can be obtained, but the complexity of controlling animals and operating the device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit autonomously manages the entire process of capturing images at multiple body positions by automatically adjusting animal positioning and coordinating with the imaging module, reducing operational complexity while ensuring complete diagnostic data collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously captures images at multiple predetermined body positions in an automated sequence without interruption, ensuring complete diagnostic data is obtained while simplifying the operational process through integrated control.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a veterinary DR device and a capturing guidance method therefor. The method includes: obtaining at least two body positions to be tested that are selected by a user for an animal to be tested, where each of the body positions to be tested has a piece of preset guidance information, and each piece of guidance information is used for assisting the user to capture a medical image for a body position to be tested; determining a current body position from the at least two body positions to be tested; displaying guidance information for the current body position; obtaining a medical image for the current body position after receiving an exposure start instruction input by the user; using, after detecting an exposure completion instruction triggered based on completion of obtaining the medical image for the current body position, a next body position to be tested as a new current body position according to a specified order; and displaying guidance information for the new current body position. Through the veterinary DR device and the capturing guidance method therefor, the user does not need to operate back and forth on an animal side and a veterinary DR device side, thus making it more continuous and efficient when obtaining medical images for a plurality of body positions to be tested.
