  • Publication number: 20220160918
    Abstract: Method for the operation of a cleaning system of a medical imaging facility, wherein the imaging facility has an outer useful surface exposed to contaminating effects of patients and/or operators. During a utilization phase for an examination procedure of a patient, sensor data of a sensor arrangement detecting at least a portion of the useful surface is acquired and by evaluation of the sensor data, a surface map having potentially contaminated regions of the useful surface is determined. During a cleaning phase following the utilization phase, cleaning information of the potentially contaminated regions are output to a cleaner and/or used for actuation of at least one cleaning apparatus of the imaging facility for targeted cleaning of the potentially contaminated regions.
