A method for determining the position of a real object and displaying a virtual object linked to the real object in an augmented reality display device is provided. For this purpose, a tracking system is used to detect a position of the real object) at different consecutive measurement times and in each case to calculate an estimated position for the measurement times. A reliability value is determined on the basis of the detected position of the real object and of the estimated position of the real object and shown in the augmented reality display device. The present method furthermore discloses a corresponding augmented reality system having an augmented reality display device for displaying a real object and a virtual object linked to the real object).

A method of position planning for a recording system of an imaging device with respect to a selectable field of view of a patient includes acquiring current position information of the recording system and/or the imaging device, and/or setting information of a collimator of the imaging device. A current intersection volume between an X-ray beam and the patient and/or a current field of view is determined. The current intersection volume and/or the current field of view is determined as a virtual display element. A target intersection volume and/or a target field of view is received by manipulation of the virtual display element. A target position of the recording system and/or the imaging device, and/or the setting of the collimator is determined, such that, on occupying the target position, the target intersection volume and/or the target field of view becomes the current intersection volume and/or current field of view.

A method is defined for transferring a user interface from at least one server via a proxy to at least one client. A user interface of the server is transferred to the client such that the user interface is displayed on the client, and the server may be controlled from the client. In order to display the user interface on the client, a data stream of a plurality of successive frames is transmitted from the server to the client by a packet-based transfer. A latency of the transfer is determined recurrently for individual frames in order to monitor the transfer. In addition, a medical device and a server are defined.

A computer-implemented method for providing an output signal by a touch-sensitive input unit includes detecting a sensor signal, wherein the sensor signal is time-resolved and spatially resolved with respect to a surface of the touch-sensitive input unit, and wherein the sensor signal includes unwanted-signal components. The method also includes determining the output signal by applying a trained function to input data, wherein the input data is based on the sensor signal, wherein the output signal is time-resolved and spatially resolved with respect to the surface of the touch-sensitive input unit, wherein at least one parameter of the trained function is based on a comparison with a sensor signal in the absence of unwanted-signal components. The method also includes providing the output signal.

Methods for operating medical imaging devices and medical imaging devices

A medical apparatus has a plurality of movable elements that are remotely displaced. A display device receives inputs for positioning the movable elements from a user. A computing device that is coupled to the display device displays a model of the medical apparatus on the display device. The movable elements are displayed in the model in accordance with the received inputs for positioning. In response to a trigger signal of the user for moving the movable elements, the movable elements are driven so as to adopt the displayed position.

Medical apparatus and method of controlling a medical apparatus

An operating assistant controls device units and is configured such that elements of a selected functionality are clearly presented to the operator for selection in an operator-specific manner within an overview presentation. The elements are stored in a first or subsequent hierarchy level and further elements can likewise be depicted for selection on the visual display unit and selected operating functions and/or control functions can be executed.

A method for connecting a mobile operator terminal to a device to be operated includes outputting a code using an output element associated with the device. The code is transmitted to the mobile operator terminal. At least one piece of information related to the device is determined by decoding the transmitted code using software installed on the mobile operator terminal. A connection from the mobile operator terminal to a control unit associated with the device is then established with the aid of the piece of information related to the device and a piece of information related to the mobile operator terminal is transmitted from the mobile operator terminal to the control unit associated with the device over the established connection. A mobile operator terminal, a device for medical diagnosis or therapy and a system including a mobile operator terminal and a device, are also provided.

Collision-free movement of a mobile medical device, such as a mobile medical imaging device, in a room is controlled via a man-machine interface. A model of the room environment is created and displayed, together an actual position of the medical device. The room model and the actual position are based at least in part on real-time sensor data. A destination position for the medical device is entered, the entered destination position is displayed and a collision-free movement path is generated from the actual position to the destination position. The movement path is displayed in the room model. A movement command relating to the displayed movement path is entered and the medical device is driven along the entered movement path from the actual position to the destination position.
