A medical imaging device, such as a computed tomography device and/or a magnetic resonance device, includes at least one movable component. The at least one movable component can include a patient couch, and the medical image device can further include an operating device for controlling the operation of the at least one component. The operating device can include a touch-sensitive and force-sensitive interface (e.g. touchscreen display) having at least one touch sensor and at least one force sensor that measure the strength of a touch.

A medical imaging apparatus with a medical scanner unit and at least one display is described, as well as a method for actuating at least one display of a medical imaging apparatus. The techniques disclosed are based on a medical imaging apparatus with a medical scanner unit, a computing unit which is connected to a master unit, and at least one display. The at least one display may include a slave unit, and the master unit may be connected to the slave unit by means of a data connection.

A method and magnetic resonance apparatus for acquiring a communication signal of a person situated within a magnetic resonance examination room. The method includes acquiring an item of position information of the person using an acquirer, adjusting at least one microphone of a microphone array on the basis of the acquired position information, and acquiring communication signals of the person using the microphone array.

A downmixer for providing a downmix signal on the basis of a plurality of input signals is configured to determine a magnitude value of a spectral domain value of the downmix signal on the basis of a loudness information of the input signals. The downmixer is configured to determine a phase value of the spectral domain value of the downmix signal and the downmixer is configured to apply the phase value in order to obtain a complex valued number representation of the spectral domain value of the downmix signal on the basis of the magnitude value of the spectral domain value of the downmix signal. An audio encoder uses such a downmixer. A method for downmixing and a computer program are also described.

A magnetic resonance apparatus has a scanner that has a patient receiving area, a position data acquisition unit, and a patient examination table of a patient positioning device. The table is movable within the patient receiving area. The position data acquisition unit detects a subarea, including an isocenter, of the patient receiving area, and provides position data to a speed regulating processor that regulates the speed of the table of patient positioning device depending on this position data.

A medical imaging apparatus has a data acquisition scanner having a patient receiving zone at least partially enclosed by the scanner, and at least one acquisition unit equipped with a camera to acquire positional data. The at least one acquisition unit has a first imaging optics system and at least one second imaging optics system that differs from the first imaging optics system with regard to at least one optical property or attribute that affects the acquisition of the positional data.
