Abstract
A medical diagnostic imaging apparatus has a support device for the displacement of an examination subject positioned thereon in at least one displacement direction, a control device for the control of the displacements of the support device, an actuation device that is encompassed by the support device, that is oblong with reference to the displacement direction and that is actuatable at points at least in the displacement direction; and a setting device that encompasses the actuation device and that is connected to the control device for positioning a prescribable region to be imaged in the examination subject in an imaging volume of the apparatus on the basis of a displacement of the bearing device. The region to be imaged can be prescribed by an actuation of the actuation device at one of the points, whose position with respect to the oblong actuation device corresponds to a position of the region to be imaged within the examination subject in the displacement direction.
