In a method for operation of a docking arrangement, position information is determined that describes a position of the patient table, including detecting, sensor data corresponding to: the position of the patient table relative to the docking arrangement, and/or to an environment feature describing a movement trajectory to the docking arrangement. The method may further include performing, in response to a switchover condition indicative of a handover situation and a purely manual operation of the patient table by an operator, a switch into an assistance operating mode of the docking arrangement. In the assistance operating mode, at least one guidance measure may be determined for the patient table and a functional component of the patient table may be controlled to assist the operator.

A stand is for a medical imaging system. In an embodiment, the stand includes an X-ray tube; a driver to adjust the X-ray tube in at least three spatial degrees of freedom; at least one environmental sensor to acquire at least one environmental parameter; and a controller to control an adjustment movement of the X-ray tube by generating control signals for the drive unit and to adapt the adjustment movement based on the at least one environmental parameter.

The disclosure relates to a positioning device for positioning in a static magnetic field of a magnetic resonance tomography system and a magnetic resonance tomography system. The positioning device may be moved along a first axis in the magnetic field. Herein, the positioning device includes a plurality of magnetic-field-strength sensors arranged at a distance from one another in the direction of the first axis in predetermined positions on the positioning device.
