Abstract: An operating assistant controls device units and is configured such that elements of a selected functionality are clearly presented to the operator for selection in an operator-specific manner within an overview presentation. The elements are stored in a first or subsequent hierarchy level and further elements can likewise be depicted for selection on the visual display unit and selected operating functions and/or control functions can be executed.

Abstract: Collision-free movement of a mobile medical device, such as a mobile medical imaging device, in a room is controlled via a man-machine interface. A model of the room environment is created and displayed, together an actual position of the medical device. The room model and the actual position are based at least in part on real-time sensor data. A destination position for the medical device is entered, the entered destination position is displayed and a collision-free movement path is generated from the actual position to the destination position. The movement path is displayed in the room model. A movement command relating to the displayed movement path is entered and the medical device is driven along the entered movement path from the actual position to the destination position.

Abstract: A method for connecting a mobile operator terminal to a device to be operated includes outputting a code using an output element associated with the device. The code is transmitted to the mobile operator terminal. At least one piece of information related to the device is determined by decoding the transmitted code using software installed on the mobile operator terminal. A connection from the mobile operator terminal to a control unit associated with the device is then established with the aid of the piece of information related to the device and a piece of information related to the mobile operator terminal is transmitted from the mobile operator terminal to the control unit associated with the device over the established connection. A mobile operator terminal, a device for medical diagnosis or therapy and a system including a mobile operator terminal and a device, are also provided.

Abstract: A medical apparatus has a plurality of movable elements that are remotely displaced. A display device receives inputs for positioning the movable elements from a user. A computing device that is coupled to the display device displays a model of the medical apparatus on the display device. The movable elements are displayed in the model in accordance with the received inputs for positioning. In response to a trigger signal of the user for moving the movable elements, the movable elements are driven so as to adopt the displayed position.

Abstract: A medical system includes a plurality of movable elements, a first control element for controlling a first type of movement and at least one further control element for controlling a further type of movement. The first control element is assigned to a first number of movable elements for controlling the first type of movement and the further control elements are assigned to a further number of movable elements for controlling the further type of movement. The control elements each include an input unit having at least two selection elements for selecting the movable element to be controlled.

Abstract: A storage apparatus for dynamically storing and for recalling a position of an imaging biomedical engineering device has an interface to a position establishment apparatus of the imaging biomedical engineering device. A display unit has a display field with a user interface having a selectable number of virtual storage buttons that are actuatable by a pointer object. If an unoccupied virtual storage button which does not yet have a medical device position assigned thereto is actuated, the storage button is assigned a current medical device position. If an occupied virtual storage button which already has a medical device position assigned thereto is actuated, the stored medical device position is selected and visualized on the display field. A biomedical engineering imaging system as well as a method for dynamically storing and for recalling medical device positions and a program product are described.

Abstract: In a method and system for use of a marker device in a fluoroscopy imaging system that is coupled with a navigation system, the navigation system is designed to determine a position of a patient, or of an instrument relative to the fluoroscopy system, with the use of a marker device that may be attached to the fluoroscopy system, and it is automatically detected whether the marker device is attached to the fluoroscopy system, and if so, information is automatically read out from the marker device, setting data are automatically determined depending on the information, and the fluoroscopy system is adjusted using the setting data such that an association between data acquired by the fluoroscopy system and data acquired by the navigation system is provided using the marker device attached to the fluoroscopy system.
