Methods for operating medical imaging devices and medical imaging devices are disclosed herein. In one example, the medical imaging device includes a user interface device for displaying information relevant to an imaging process to a user and/or receiving user input relevant to an imaging process and at least one component controllable according to a user command entered using the user interface device, wherein the user interface device includes at least one pair of mixed reality smart glasses, whereby a virtual assistance line indicating the direction of view of a wearer of the smart glasses is projected into the field of view of the smart glasses, wherein upon reception of at least one user command at least one component is controlled based on the user command and the direction defined by the assistance line.

Methods for operating medical imaging devices and medical imaging devices

An intraoperative, marker-less visualization system and method for visualizing three-dimensional surface structures and depth structures of a patient during an intervention. A C-arm carries a C-arm projection module and a camera, and visualization spectacles include an HMD (head-mounted device) projection module and a camera. The projection modules serve for projecting structured light. A processor computes a combined image data set in order to project the latter onto spectacle lenses of the visualization spectacles.
