The invention relates to a method and device for imaging a cyclically moving organ of a human or animal body, with a device supported such that it can be rotated at an angular velocity around the body recording images of the organ from different angle positions, with the angular velocity being modulated with a reference signal representing the movement phase of the organ. During the rest phase of the organ images of the organ are recorded at nominal angular speed. In the movement phase of the organ the device is slowed down, turned back and accelerated again such that on entry into the next rest phase the device records images for the next angle range at nominal angular velocity without major angle gaps in respect of the previous angle range, to generate the most complete data record possible.

The invention relates to a device for guiding at least one cable between a first system component connected to the cable and a second system component which is relatively rotatable and/or displaceable with respect to the first and is connected to the cable, whereby the cable exhibits a cable modality which can be changed by displacement and/or rotation of the second system component, whereby at least one device for adapting the cable modality is present. By making available a guide medium which allows the device for adapting the cable modality to be guided according to the displacement and/or rotation of the second system component, it is possible to provide a device which supports a mobile device without the function of the device being restricted by the cable guide.

A system and appertaining method provide a user interface application whose design is optimally modular and can be simply serviced and expanded on, and offers and optimally 'free' configuration in order to cover all types of system conditions. A GUI file comprising description of graphical elements and appertaining identifiers is used to permit field changes by non-software developers without rebuilding any software. A similar communications file comprising communications parameters is provided that permits linkage to the GUI file by utilizing identifiers in common with those of the graphical elements in the GUI file.

Use of a reusable control software whose user interface and communication connection are established via an external description-based configuration at run time

The invention relates to a method and a device for executing the method for spatial presentation of a predeterminable area under examination. By overlaying a movement of the axis of projection along an axis of examination onto a rotation of an axis of projection around the object under examination, and by interpolating from the recorded projection data sets image data sets for axes of projection not recorded, and by creating a spatial presentation of the area under examination from the projection and image data sets, a method and a device can be provided which increases the speed of an examination for an extended area under examination of an object under examination.
