Abstract
A medical system, such as an X-ray diagnostic device, having adjustable components, including a patient table, and having a monitoring device for determining the relative positions of the components and preventing collisions between them. Signals indicating the positions, the directions of motion and the speeds of movement of the components are fed directly from the drives and sensors of the components to the monitoring device. Calculations for controlling the components are carried out by a neural network, which has been appropriately trained in a learning phase.
