Abstract: Medical examination or treatment device, in particular x-ray or CT device, comprising a control device controlling the operation of one or a number of device elements, as well as at least one mobile control element assigned to the control device, the control element communicating wirelessly with the control device for operating the examination or treatment device to issue control signals, with a detector element for detecting an item of information which can be read out or sent by a control element assigned to the control device during a movement of the control element from the room containing the medical examination or treatment device, the room communicating with the control device which disables the control operation as a function of the detection result.

Abstract: A method for safety-directed wireless signal transmission is provided. The method includes duplicating an input signal; supplying each copy of the duplicated input signal within a source unit to a transmitter module over separate, independent software paths; transmitting the copies using the transmitter module over a common wireless transmission link to a receiver module of a sink unit; supplying each transmitted copy within the sink unit over an independent software path to a comparator module; and using the comparator module to test the output copies for consistency with an output signal corresponding to the output copies being generated by the comparator module.

Abstract: To facilitate an intuitive operation of an adjustable device of a medical apparatus, a system for the automatic setting of an operating configuration of the portable control module controlling the adjustable device is provided. Different operating configurations regarding the directional control of the movement of the movable device differ are based on the relative spatial position of the adjustable device with respect to the control module. The system includes at least one signal sender unit for sending a signal. The signal sender unit may be arranged on the control module. The system further includes at least two signal converter units for converting and retransmitting or for converting and reflecting the signal. The signal converter units may be arranged on different positions on the device. A signal receiver unit is used for receiving the converted signal, and the receiver unit may be arranged on the control module.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical diagnostic or therapy system comprising a system controller and at least one moving apparatus component, comprising a contour detecting unit which is constructed for detecting the position of components of the diagnostic or therapy system, and at least one projector that is decoupled from the contour detecting unit and is constructed for visualizing the region being monitored in which the component of the diagnostic and/or therapy system scanned by the contour detecting unit is arranged. The invention also relates to a method for visualizing regions being monitored in a medical diagnostic or therapy system of this kind.

Abstract: To facilitate an intuitive operation of an adjustable device of a medical apparatus, a system for the automatic setting of an operating configuration of the portable control module controlling the adjustable device is provided, wherein different operating configurations in respect of the control of the movement of the movable device differ as far as the relative spatial position of the adjustable device to the control module is concerned. In particular, the system has at least one signal sender unit for sending a signal, said signal sender unit being arranged on the control module, at least two signal converter units for converting and retransmitting or for converting and reflecting the signal, said signal converter units being arranged on different positions on the device, and a signal receiver unit for receiving the converted signal, said signal receiver unit being arranged on the control module.
