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.

Medical imaging apparatus

In a method and apparatus for determining at least one patient-specific safety parameter for a medical imaging examination conducted on the patient by a medical imaging device, position data of the patient are acquired by a position data detector while the patient is on a patient-positioning device of the medical imaging apparatus. The acquired position data are evaluated in a processor in order to determine position information of the patient. The patient-specific safety parameter is determined using the position information of the patient.

Method and medical imaging apparatus for determining at least one patient-specific safety parameter for a medical imaging examination

In a method for planning a medical imaging examination, as well as a graphical interface and a medical imaging apparatus and a storage medium for implementing the method, a planning environment for the planning of the medical imaging examination is provided on a touch display of a graphical interface, at least one imaging parameter for the medical imaging examination is specified by a manual input on the touch display, and information is provided on the touch display in response to the manual input, the information being presented haptically on the touch display.

Method, graphical interface, and medical apparatus for planning a medical imaging examination

In a method and medical imaging apparatus for specifying a position of a patient with respect to the isocenter of the scanner of the medical imaging apparatus, position data of the patient are acquired before introducing the patient into the patient-receiving region of the scanner and the acquired position data are evaluated with respect to a patient image. The patient image is transferred to a graphic interface, wherein the patient image is displayed. A position of a patient with respect to the isocenter is specified by determining at least one localization point in the patient image via the graphic interface.
