A display apparatus (24), includes a display area (26) to display image data (30) of the object provided by the image acquisition arrangement and a movement direction indication (28) The movement direction indication is configured to provide second movement direction indicators (32) in relation to the displayed image data of the object to indicate possible movement directions of the image acquisition arrangement in relation to the object.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the adjustment of movable X-ray imaging systems for aligning an object of interest and an X-ray imaging arrangement and comprises an X-ray imaging arrangement with a source and detector, at least one camera, a data processor; and a display, wherein the display is configured to display a graphical representation of at least one reference point in a first image at least partly overlaid with an actual image provided by the at least one camera to guide an alignment movement of the X-ray source and/or the X-ray detector and an object in relation to each other after an intermediate displacement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to providing guiding information for operating an X-ray imaging system. In order to provide an improved positioning distance control facilitating the work flow, an X-ray imaging system (10) is provided, comprising a moveable X-ray source (12) and/or a moveable X-ray detector (14). The system further comprises a plurality of object-surface detecting sensors (16), a positioning detection arrangement (18), a processing unit (20), and a display unit (22). The sensors are arranged such to detect object data of objects located between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector. The positioning detection arrangement is provided to detect the current position of the X-ray source and/or the X-ray detector and the position of the sensors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the adjustment of movable X-ray imaging systems. In order to provide a facilitated alignment and positioning for a movable X-ray imaging system with reduced hardware requirements and allowing an intuitive operation, a movable X-ray imaging system (10) for aligning an object of interest and an X-ray imaging arrangement in relation to each other is provided. The system comprises an X-ray imaging arrangement (12) with an X-ray source (14) and an X-ray detector (16), at least one camera (18), a data processor (20), and a display (22). The at least one camera i) is either attached to the X-ray imaging arrangement or ii) is attachable to the object of interest. The at least one camera is configured to provide a first image of at least one reference point. The data processor is configured to relate the first image to first projection parameters of a first X-ray image of the object of interest in relation to the object.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for adjusting the position of a screw (13) that is able to move a part of a surgical instrument, said device (4) comprising: —a stem (41) comprising a tip (42) suited to the head (130) of the screw (13), —an actuated system (45) for driving said stem (41) in rotation, —communication means to communicate with a control unit (21), such that the control unit (21) transmits to the actuated system (45) the number of turns to apply to the stem (41) to reach the target position of the screw (13).
