X-Ray Image Data Correction via RIS Feedback Loop
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In medical imaging, especially during emergencies, it is challenging to obtain and correctly process patient information promptly, leading to manual errors in photographing operations, where dummy information is used initially, and subsequent corrections are inefficient and prone to errors in outputting image data.
Innovation Solution
A photographic information processing apparatus that includes a correction determination unit, an image data acquisition unit, and an output control unit to ensure that image data is not output until the patient information is correctly updated and verified, preventing errors in image data output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual correction of photographic information is performed after photographing operation, then correction capability is provided, but processing efficiency deteriorates and errors occur in image data output
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic correction of photographic information without requiring manual intervention. The correction information is automatically acquired from the RIS and applied to the image data, enabling the system to correct itself rather than relying on operator involvement for this specific function.
Solution Approach 2:
Manual mechanical operations (operator-based correction processes) are replaced with automated information processing mechanisms. The system automatically acquires correction information from the RIS, determines which image data requires correction, and applies corrections through automated data processing rather than manual workflows.
2Speed
If image data is output immediately after photographing operation, then output speed is improved, but error risk increases due to uncorrected photographic information
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary correction of photographic information before allowing image data output. Correction information is acquired and applied in advance, ensuring that only corrected and verified image data can be output, thereby preventing errors while maintaining efficient workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where correction information from the RIS is automatically fed back into the image data processing workflow. This feedback loop ensures that any discrepancies in photographic information are automatically detected and corrected before output, eliminating errors without delaying the process.
3Ease of operation
If dummy photographic information is used temporarily, then photographing operation can start, but subsequent correction processing becomes necessary and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares for correction by acquiring correction information from the RIS in advance and marking image data as requiring correction. This preliminary preparation simplifies the subsequent correction process by having all necessary correction information ready before the actual correction needs to occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses correction information from the RIS as an intermediary element that bridges the temporary dummy information and the final correct information. This intermediary correction data structure simplifies the correction process by providing a clear, structured way to replace dummy information with accurate patient information.

AI summary
A photographic information processing apparatus corrects photographic information based on temporarily determined photographic information relating to a photographing operation. The photographic information processing apparatus includes a photographic information correction determination unit determines whether correction of the photographic information is required based on an operation by an operator, an image data acquisition unit detects an X-ray having penetrated a body of a patient and acquires image data based on the detected X-ray, a photographic information correction unit corrects the temporarily determined photographic information based on patient information of the patient in a case where the correction of the photographic information is determined to be required, and an image data output unit outputs the image data after the correction of the temporarily determined photographic information is completed. The acquired image data is prevented from being output unless the temporarily determined photographic information is corrected.
