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.
