Abstract
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.
