Abstract: A medical examination apparatus is provided. The examination apparatus includes an examination area in which an examinee is examined using an imaging device. The examination apparatus includes at least one planar lighting device emitting homogeneous light via its light radiating surface. The lighting device includes at least one light source by which at least part of the examination area and/or of the area peripheral to the examination area can be illuminated.

Abstract: A medical imaging examination apparatus has a front wall with an opening to a cylindrical examination area into which a patient to be examined can be moved, and has an illumination arrangement for the illumination of the front wall over a large surface. The illumination of the front wall reduces feelings of fear on the part of a patient, and thus simplifies conducting examinations using the examination apparatus.

Abstract: A patient positioning device for a computer tomographic device having a gantry supported on a base is disclosed. The patient positioning device comprises a bed guide for a patient bed having an arm mounted on or to the base by means of a rotating joint which rotates about a horizontal axis. The bed guide is mounted to the arm by means of a rotating joint which rotates about a horizontal axis, and the height of the bed guide may be adjusted.

Abstract: A patient positioning device for a medical treatment or examination device, in particular for an x-ray device or computed tomography device, has a heating device to warm a patient positioned on the plate. The heating device is integrated in the positioning plate of the patient positioning device, made from a fiber composite. The heating device can be a resistive heat layer formed by current-carrying conductors. The conductor system of the resistive heat layer can be x-ray transparent, for example formed of carbon fiber textile. An imaging medical examination device, in particular an x-ray device or computed tomography device has such a patient positioning device so as to enable medical examinations over a longer period of time, since chilling of the patient is prevented.

Abstract: A medical system work station for open or minimally invasive surgery, has a holder tray and at least one terminal unit for handheld instruments of one or more medical devices, at least one equipment center, spatially separated from the terminal unit, for accepting non-manipulated components of the medical devices, and at least one connection unit that connects the terminal unit and the equipment center with one another.

Abstract: An X-ray system, in particular for radiological and angiographic methods, has a patient table arranged on a stand under a radiation source. The system further has a detector, which is mounted displaceably under a table plate. A carriage supporting the detector is mounted beneath the table plate such that it can be displaced in a sliding fashion in a longitudinal direction of the table by means of a positioning motor.

Abstract: A programming device includes a housing for a control unit, a display tablet and a keyboard. Surface-flush integration into a piece of furniture is provided utilizing a housing of a trough-shaped bottom portion with a horizontal cover plate and a wedge-shaped display panel arranged thereon. The housing includes a number of plug-in locations for the acceptance of program modules.
