Problems solved by technology

This has the disadvantage when the number of device positions to save is increased beyond the number of keystrokes
Furthermore, in conventional memory devices, as already mentioned, it is often difficult to immediately find the key with the desired stored device position when calling up the determined device position.

Embodiment Construction

[0037] exist figure 1 A medical imaging system 1 , in this particular example, a C-arm system, is first schematically depicted with a memory device 6 according to the invention. The C-arm system 1 comprises an X-ray C-arm 2 which is rotatable as a whole and tiltable about its axis of rotation. The X-ray C-arm 2 carries an X-ray radiation source 12 and an X-ray radiation detector 14 . The X-ray C-arm 2 is able to operate on the motor 3 (in figure 1 Only one motor is shown in , however such devices usually have multiple motors for rotation about different axes or for translational movement) to rotate about different axes and also travel horizontally.

[0038] exist figure 2 A typical C-arm device 2 is shown in , which has different degrees of freedom with respect to which the position and orientation of the C-arm device can be changed. The different degrees of freedom are symbolically represented by arrows on the right side of the image. exist figure 2 The device 2 shown...

Abstract

A storage apparatus for dynamically storing and for recalling a position of an imaging biomedical engineering device has an interface to a position establishment apparatus of the imaging biomedical engineering device. A display unit has a display field with a user interface having a selectable number of virtual storage buttons that are actuatable by a pointer object. If an unoccupied virtual storage button which does not yet have a medical device position assigned thereto is actuated, the storage button is assigned a current medical device position. If an occupied virtual storage button which already has a medical device position assigned thereto is actuated, the stored medical device position is selected and visualized on the display field. A biomedical engineering imaging system as well as a method for dynamically storing and for recalling medical device positions and a program product are described.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for dynamically storing and recalling the position of a medical device. Furthermore, the invention relates to medical technology imaging devices. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for dynamically storing and for calling up the position of a medical device. Background technique [0002] Many imaging medical technology devices, such as C-arm devices or radiography or fluoroscopy devices, can be moved electrically about several axes. In a large number of workflows it is desirable to store the device position and recall it again later in the course of a medical procedure, for example in the case of a surgical intervention for positioning an implant, so that the same position can be perform a new image recording. Conventionally, when the device position is called up, the desired position is not visualized or is only vaguely visualized, so that when the stored position is called up later, it is not so easy to...
