A monitoring system for monitoring a patient in an examination space of an imaging apparatus may include an interface, a computing device and an output device. The interface can receive process data of the imaging examination and transfer it to the computing device. The computing device may process the process data and control the output device to provide an item of information of the imaging examination based on the process data. The monitoring system enables visual monitoring of the patient and of the item of information using the output device.

Apparatus and method to support monitoring of a patient

At least one example embodiment provides a communication system for a medical imaging system. The system includes a data interface configured to receive event-data from the medical imaging system; a control unit configured to provide a light pattern from a number of light patterns based on the event-data, wherein for different types of event-data different types of light patterns are provided; and an illumination unit comprising a linear arrangement of multiple light sources, the control unit being configured to control the multiple light sources to emit a changing light pattern from the number of light patterns.

Communication system and method for a medical imaging system

In an image recording apparatus and an operation method therefor, image data of a patient are recorded with the use of a contrast medium administered to the patient. A computer of the image recording apparatus is provided with an image recording information item, describing the upcoming image recording carried out according to a multi-step sequence and with at least one patient information describing a property of the patient. The computer determines a contrast medium administration information item from these received information items, which designates at least one contrast medium quantity to be administered to the patient and a point in time in the sequence of the upcoming image recording. The contrast medium administration information item is displayed to a user of the image recording apparatus at the determined point in time on a display of the image recording 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.

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.

Display screen or portion thereof with a graphical user interface

In a computer network and a method for displacement of an object within a computer network, the computer network has a first computer system with a first graphical user interface and a second computer system with a second graphical user interface. A selection view of the second graphical user interface can be presented on the first graphical user interface, and a target location can be selected in the selection view. An object on the first graphical user interface can be displaced onto the target location.

In a method and system for localizing optional and/or exchangeable components of at least one image recording scanner and/or for localizing persons assigned to the image recording scanner in a spatial environment around the location of the image recording scanner, the components and/or persons are each provided with a wireless transmit device and the environment is provided with wireless receive devices. For each transmit device, using at least one localization signal received by at least one receive device in which the transmitting transmit device is identified, an item of position information of the transmit device, and thus of the component or person assigned to the transmit device, is determined and is provided in a computer for recall purposes.

Method and apparatus for localizing components and/or persons assigned to an image recording scanner in a spatial environment

Medical image data of at least one medical imaging apparatus are prepared in a computerized procedure wherein the medical image data are received by a reception unit, a first subset of the medical image data is selected by at least one first filter unit, the first subset of the medical image data is processed by at least one second filter unit, with the processing leading to a second subset, the second subset of the medical image data are sorted and/or grouped by the processing unit, a presentation type for the second subset of the medical image data is determined by means of the processing unit, and the second subset of the medical image data is presented as an output according to a defined presentation type by an output unit.

Control method and apparatus to prepare medical image data with user acceptance of previews after each of first and second filtering of the medical image data

In a control method and a control unit for context-specific determination of at least one DESIRED perspective upon rendering of medical image data at a monitor, a graphical symbol is generated at a user interface dynamically and depending on an image status in order to detect a perspective control signal, and is used to control the rendering.
