METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTI-RANGE SLIDER USER INTERFACE CONTROL OF MEDICAL IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036719 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTI-RANGE SLIDER USER INTERFACE CONTROL OF MEDICAL IMAGES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for the user interface of a medical imaging system. It involves displaying a slider bar with a fixed range of values, where the first slider thumb sets the maximum value of a first adjustable range and the second slider thumb sets the minimum value of a second adjustable range. The method allows for operating the slider thumbs in either a linked mode or an unlinked mode. The maximum and minimum values of the adjustable ranges can be adjusted based on a single user input, depending on whether the slider thumbs are operating in the linked or unlinked mode.
- The method involves displaying a slider bar with adjustable ranges.
- The slider bar has a fixed range of values.
- The first slider thumb sets the maximum value of the first adjustable range.
- The second slider thumb sets the minimum value of the second adjustable range.
- The slider thumbs can be operated in a linked mode or an unlinked mode.
- The maximum and minimum values of the adjustable ranges can be adjusted based on a single user input.
- The adjustment depends on whether the slider thumbs are operating in the linked or unlinked mode.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Medical imaging systems
- Radiology departments
- Diagnostic imaging centers
- Healthcare facilities
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a user-friendly interface for adjusting ranges in a medical imaging system.
- Allows for precise control and adjustment of values.
- Simplifies the process of setting maximum and minimum values.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience in medical imaging systems.
- Enhanced accuracy and precision in adjusting ranges.
- Time-saving and efficient adjustment of values.
- Facilitates better analysis and interpretation of medical images.
Original Abstract Submitted
various methods and systems are provided for a user interface of a medical imaging system. in one embodiment, a method may include displaying a slider bar comprising a track having a fixed range of values, a first slider thumb defining a maximum value of a first adjustable range on the track, and a second slider thumb defining a minimum value of a second adjustable range on the track; operating the first slider thumb and the second slider thumb in one of a linked mode and an unlinked mode; and adjusting one or both of the maximum value of the first adjustable range and the minimum value of the second adjustable range in response to receiving a single user input based on whether the first slider thumb and the second slider thumb are operating in the linked mode or the unlinked mode.
