Abstract: A computer-implemented method is for operating a medical imaging system. The imaging system includes an imaging unit and a positioning apparatus for positioning an examination object. In an embodiment, the method includes ascertainment of object information relating to the examination object; determination of a region of interest for the examination object, the region of interest being defined as a region of the examination object to be examined by the imaging unit in the context of an examination to be performed; arrival at a determination concerning a positional state of the examination object relative to the positioning apparatus and, to be precise, based on the region of interest and the object information; and provision of user output for a user of the imaging system based on the determination.

Abstract: A monitoring unit to support a medical workflow for examining a patient, comprises: a base body including multiple attachment slots; multiple sensor units, each of the multiple sensor units being attached to one of the multiple attachment slots and/or permanently fixed to the base body, at least one of the multiple sensor units being configured to collect patient related data, and at least one of the multiple sensor units being configured to collect environmental data. A computing device is configured to: process the patient related data and the environmental data; create output data based on the patient related data and/or the environmental data; and initiate output of the output data via an output device, the output device being configured to receive the output data from the computing device and to output the output data.

Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus includes a detection unit, having an X-ray detector and a stray radiation collimator in stacked arrangement, and an X-ray source opposite the detection unit. The X-ray source is embodied, starting from a focal point, to emit X-rays towards the X-ray detector. The X-ray detector has a sensor plane and is subdivided in a first direction into a plurality of detector elements. Each detector element of the plurality of detector elements is embodied to convert the X-rays impinging on a surface region, assigned to the detector element, of the sensor plane into an electrical pixel measurement signal. The stray radiation collimator has a plurality of collimator walls. The collimator walls are arranged over the surface region of a detector element of the plurality of detector elements, such that a shadow cast by a respective collimator wall completely overlaps with the surface region of the corresponding detector element.

Abstract: A system includes a gantry of a medical imaging apparatus. In an embodiment, the gantry includes an X-ray source, and a radiation protection booth, which can be installed or suspended relative to the gantry.

Abstract: A method is for positioning a positionable table for a patient inside a medical imaging device. In an embodiment, the method includes a determination of a table position as a function of an organ or body part of the patient for examination; an ascertainment of correction data for correcting the table position; a determination of a corrected table position based on the ascertained correction data; and a positioning of the table at the corrected table position.
