Abstract
For monitoring a room with a medical technology apparatus, a light projection that defines an areal region in the room is generated with light of a predetermined wavelength characteristic. Using a large number of optical detectors that are each mounted in the areal region and are configured for detecting light having the wavelength characteristic, at least one detector signal is generated. Dependent upon the at least one detector signal, a coverage of at least a portion of the large number of optical detectors by an object is recognized. Dependent upon the recognized coverage, a safety and/or warning measure is initiated.
