In a method for the implementation of a medical examination via the user interface of at least one imaging device, parameter values in a group of measurement parameters are determined, and are entered via an input device of the user interface. Spatially resolved image information are generated by the at least one imaging device depending on the group of measurement parameters, and the image information is stored on a storage medium. The image information are presented as a data symbol on a screen of the user interface. In order to present the parameters and dependencies to enable a more efficient work process, each measurement parameter of the group of measurement parameters is respectively presented on the screen in a measurement parameter cell of a matrix with multiple rows and multiple columns. The measurement parameters can be contained at least in part in multiple measurement parameter cells. The presentation size of the multiple columns of the matrix depends on their distance from the pointer symbol on the screen.

Method and user interface for implementation of a medical examination

In a method and a device for the implementation of a medical examination via a user interface of at least one imaging device determination and input of a group of measurement parameters take place via an input device of the user interface. Spatially resolved image information are generated with the at least one imaging device depending on the group of measurement parameters. The image information is stored on a storage medium. The image information is presented as data symbols on a screen of the user interface. Multiple data symbols are presented in a predetermined arrangement on the screen for a medical assessment. An interest value is generated for each of the multiple data symbols with enlarged or reduced presentation of data symbols with higher interest value occurring relative to adjacent data symbols with lower interest value, such that the arrangement of the data symbols with lower interest value in n columns and m rows and at their respective size is maintained.

Method and user interface for the graphical presentation of medical data

A method and a user interface for the implementation of a medical examination with at least one imaging device operated by determination and input of a group of measurement parameters via an input device of the user interface, generation of spatially resolved image information with the at least one imaging device depending on the group of measurement parameters, and storage of the image information on a storage medium, presentation of the image information as a data symbol on a screen of the user interface, Multiple data symbols are presented in a predetermined arrangement on the screen for a medical assessment. In order to be able to clearly present all data of a patient that are acquired in imaging methods in an accessible and manipulable manner, the data symbols are arranged on the screen by a control unit depending on at least three display parameters.

An input device to control elements of graphical user interfaces has at least one input element with multiple buttons (keys), and at least one rotatable input element that is actuated at least along one essentially horizontal axis, and at least one elevation () that extends essentially perpendicular to a primary extension plane of the input device. The elevation is provided with at least one additional input element and the additional input element is rotatable around an essentially vertical axis.

Input device to control elements of graphical user interfaces

A method for generation and presentation of medical examination results of at least one imaging device includes the steps of definition and input of measurement parameters via an input device, generation of spatially resolved image information with the at least one imaging device,) and storage of the image information as a respective image file on a storage medium, and selection of presentation parameters to show at least one of the image files depending on the selected presentation parameters. Selection and presentation of medical data acquired with imaging methods are optimized by the presentation parameters being automatically combined into multiple hierarchically organized groups. Each group of unselected presentation parameters is presented as a series of nested rectangles, wherein each presentation parameter corresponds to a rectangle, and each group of selected presentation parameters is presented as a step pyramid, wherein each presentation parameter corresponds to one pyramid level.
