Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed for controlling a scanning region of a medical imaging system for subsequent recording of a region of interest of an examination object. Depth image data of the examination object are captured. 2-D image data of at least one 2-D image of the examination object are created and the 2-D image is displayed. The 2-D image data and the depth image data of the examination object are registered to each other at least in some regions. By using the 2-D image, at least one limit position of the scanning region is then determined. Finally, on the basis of the depth image data and the limit position in the 2-D image of the examination object, a limit contour line extending through the limit position is determined and displayed such that the limit contour line is superimposed on the 2-D image of the examination object.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for retrieving application commands relating to a medical image displayed on a touch-capable user interface of a computing unit of a medical imaging system. In at least one embodiment, the method includes at least detecting simultaneous touching of the user interface on at least two touch points and displaying the application-situation-related possible application commands on the user interface at the touch points. A computing unit of a medical imaging system is also disclosed, including at least one memory unit and one program code stored in the memory unit, wherein the program code is embodied such that a medical image of a patient is output on a touch-capable user interface of the computing unit, wherein the method of an embodiment of the invention can be executed. Finally, a medical imaging system is disclosed, including at least one computing unit according to an embodiment of the invention.

Abstract: In a method for adjusting the transmission characteristic of a hearing aid, the characteristic being defined by hearing aid-specific parameters, a data processing device is used that has a screen and a pointer device. On a graphics user interface of the data processing device, an object displayed in a first area of the screen is selected and copied with the pointer device and the copy is moved into the second area of the screen and stored there, with the transmission characteristic of the hearing aid being able to be changed by the stored object. Settings selected for a hearing aid or a hearing program thus can be transferred quickly and easily to a second hearing aid or a second hearing program.
