Abstract: The invention relates to a medical diagnostic device comprising an operating element for controlling system components of the medical diagnostic device, said device comprising at least one operating lever which is embodied in such a way that it has at least one feature which is characteristic of the associated system component and is, for example, designed in such a way that it is congruent to the system component. In this way, the operating lever has a form adapted to that of the real system components or has the same form as said components.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting at least one ultrasound head to a patient positioning table has a base element with at least one chamber for an electronic module, and with at least one attachment element for an ultrasound head. The attachment element has a chamber to accept an electronic module associated with the respective ultrasound head and a mounting or acceptor for the ultrasound head.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a radiation transmitter has a first C-arm carrying the radiation transmitter at one end thereof, which is mounted so as to be movable within a holder, the holder in turn being mounted so as to be movable along a second C-arm. The second C-arm is adjustably mounted within an installation room.
