An X-ray imaging system with a digital imaging panel that includes an X-ray device capable of generating a control signal for synchronization, sending and receiving data wirelessly, and featuring a user interface for real-time image display, editing, and management, allowing operators to directly capture, edit, and store X-ray images independently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual synchronization and operation between X-ray device and digital imaging panel is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the X-ray device and digital imaging panel into an integrated system where the controller in the X-ray device directly communicates with and controls the digital imaging panel. This merging eliminates the need for separate manual synchronization operations between independent devices, thereby improving ease of operation while managing device complexity through unified control architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automatic feedback mechanisms where the controller receives status information from the digital imaging panel and automatically adjusts operation parameters. This feedback loop eliminates manual synchronization steps and allows the system to self-regulate, significantly improving ease of operation without requiring complex manual intervention procedures.
2Ease of operation
If physical connection between X-ray device and digital imaging panel is required, then reliability of data transmission is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical physical connection system with an electronic communication system. The controller in the X-ray device communicates with the digital imaging panel through electronic signals and data protocols, eliminating the need for physical cable connections. This substitution maintains data transmission reliability through error-checking protocols while dramatically improving ease of operation by allowing wireless or plug-and-play connectivity.
3Loss of time
If X-ray images are stored in external memory requiring manual search, then storage capacity is increased, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automatic feedback mechanisms where the controller in the X-ray device communicates with and controls the digital imaging panel. This feedback loop eliminates manual synchronization steps and allows the system to self-regulate, significantly improving ease of operation without requiring complex manual intervention procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated system provides self-service functionality where the controller automatically manages image data flow from the digital imaging panel, performs necessary processing, and stores images in organized formats. This self-service capability eliminates the need for manual search operations, reducing time loss while managing device complexity through automated management protocols.
