  • Patent number: 11298099
    Abstract: A method is for controlling the operation of a medical apparatus. The method includes determining input data including patient data relating to a patient, operational status data relating to operational status of the medical apparatus, position data describing position of at least one of the wireless, handheld mobile operating device and the patient in relation to the medical apparatus, and workflow data describing at least one of a medical apparatus workflow and a current position in the medical apparatus workflow; determining, using an artificial intelligence analysis algorithm, at least one of a subsequent operating action of an operator of the wireless, handheld mobile operating device and prediction data describing an item of information needed next by the operator; and at least one of selecting and adapting a user interface to be displayed on the touch screen, based upon the prediction data and displaying the user interface on the touch screen.

  • Patent number: 10966680
    Abstract: A method is for controlling operation of a medical technology device using a wireless, hand-held, mobile operator device including a touchscreen. The wireless, hand-held, mobile operator device including a touchscreen is also disclosed. The method includes using the mobile operator device for implementing a medical technology workflow including acquiring patient data of the at least one patient from an acquisition user interface; selecting, via a selection user interface, a medical technology protocol containing operating parameters to be carried out for the at least one patient; setting remote-controllably adjustable components of the medical technology device, according to the at least one patient positioned in the medical technology device and according to the medical technology protocol, using a settings user interface; and activating, with the at least one patient positioned and components set, the medical technology procedure in an activation user interface.

  • Patent number: 10820879
    Abstract: A method is for a medical imaging X-ray device including an X-ray generator, to which the collimator is assigned, an X-ray detector, a patient table for positioning a patient to be X-rayed, and a wireless, hand-held operator device including a touchscreen. In an embodiment, the method includes generating a display, visualizing a current setting of the collimator, on the touchscreen; adjusting the collimator according to operating data describing a manipulation of display elements of the display; determining position information, describing at least one of a position and orientation of the operator, from sensor data of at least one sensor; selecting a perspective, using the position information determined, corresponding at least approximately to a viewing angle of an operator with respect to the patient table; and generating the display for three-dimensionally visualizing, showing an X-ray beam with the collimator settings adjusted, at the perspective selected.

  • Patent number: 10492753
    Abstract: A method is for controlling an imaging device including at least one component, movable according to an operator input via a smart device including at least one smart device sensor. The method includes recording, via the at least one smart device sensor, sensor data defining at least one of movement and position of the smart device in a space of the imaging device where the smart device is situated; determining, from the sensor data recorded, position data defining the position and an orientation of the smart device relative to the at least one component, and/or movement data defining a movement relative to the at least one component; and evaluating the at least one of position data and movement data to select at least one of the at least one component, and/or determine an operator input in relation to at least one of the at least one component.
