  • Patent number: 10828005
    Abstract: The object of the disclosure is to simplify and/or improve the operation of a medical system. To this end, a method for operating the medical system is proposed, in which a patient is moved relative to a component of the system, or the component is moved relative to the patient, according to a motion parameter. The motion parameter interacts automatically with another process parameter of the medical system so that a value of the process parameter changes dynamically with a value of the motion parameter.

  • Patent number: 10595799
    Abstract: System and methods are provided for an X-ray assembly including at least two X-ray facilities each with a control facility and a recording assembly including an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector. At least one of the X-ray facilities is a mobile X-ray facility with a mobile carrier carrying the recording assembly. The control facility of least one of the at least one mobile X-ray facility is configured to control the image recording operation of the respective X-ray facility using control data received from another control facility via a communication connection and/or to transfer at least one recorded image dataset to at least one further control facility via the communication connection.

  • Patent number: 10509137
    Abstract: A method is provided for monitoring the exposure to radiation of medical personnel during an X-ray examination of an examination object with an X-ray apparatus. A monitoring unit is activated and continuously scans a first three-dimensional volume that includes a region directly irradiated by the X-ray beam, for objects. When an object is detected, automatic evaluation is performed as to whether the object is a human body part that does not correspond to the examination object and a signal or a display is output if a human body part is determined inside the three-dimensional volume that does not correspond to the examination object.

  • Publication number: 20190057779
    Abstract: Handling of a medical system is improved. A method for operating a medical system includes acquiring parameter values that describe a current situation of the medical system finds. A situation identifier is determined for the current situation from the acquired parameter values. The parameter values are checked by corresponding values in a database, from which the corresponding values are obtained based on the determined situation identifier. A notification is then output if at least one of the parameter values for the current situation does not match one of the respective corresponding values in the database, or one of the parameter values is automatically set in accordance with the corresponding value from the database.
