At least one example embodiment relates to a computer-implemented method for determining an imaging parameter value for the control of a medical technology device during a capture of a first image dataset. In this context, the first image dataset is provided to be transferred from the medical technology device to a remotely arranged device. The method comprises at least one of receiving or determining a transfer parameter value. In this context, the transfer parameter value comprises an information item concerning which image information is relevant for the first image dataset which is to be transferred. The method further comprises determining the imaging parameter value based on the transfer parameter value. The method further comprises providing the imaging parameter value.

The invention relates to a patient positioning device () for an x-ray imaging apparatus (), comprising an x-ray-transparent patient positioning board () for positioning a patient () in a longitudinal direction (), and at least one carrier device () at least partially supporting the patient positioning board (). The patient positioning board () is subdivided into at least two partial boards (), wherein each partial board () is mounted on a carrier device () assigned to the partial board (). Each carrier device () has at least one pivot joint for pivoting the partial boards () about a transverse axis () which extents horizontally perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction ().

A method is for the automatic regulation of radiation doses of a person for an examination with a medical X-ray device, which has a first dose regulation. In an embodiment, the method includes a specification of X-ray parameters of an X-ray examination based upon patient information and a specification of a dose regulation as a function of X-ray parameters as well as a limit value for deterministic radiation damage and/or a guide value for stochastic effective doses.

A pressure control system for providing an interventional pressure to be applied to a defined area of a patient during a pre-interventional imaging process with an imaging system is provided. Therein, the interventional pressure corresponds to an interventional pressure applied to the defined area of the patient during an intervention via a medical technology device. The pressure control system includes a pressure plate, a force module, and a positioning apparatus. Therein, the force module is configured to apply a force on the pressure plate. Therein, the force on the pressure plate generates the interventional pressure. Therein, the positioning apparatus is configured to position the pressure plate and the force module relative to the patient.

A patient table includes a support surface for a patient. The patient table includes a first table subunit, to provide a first surface region of the support surface; a second table subunit, to provide a second surface region; and an angle unit connected thereto, to fix a position of the first table subunit relative to the second table subunit such that the first surface region is provided in a first plane and the second surface region is provided in a second plane, intersecting the first plane at an intersection angle; and such that the support surface is secured against a change of the intersection angle upon loading of the support surface by the patient. The angle unit includes at least a first coupling element, to interact functionally with a first counter-coupling element provided on the first table subunit, to releasably connect the angle unit to the first table subunit.
