摘要:
A safety apparatus for a medical system comprises at least one source for emitting an optical signal, and at least one sensor for detecting the optical signal emitted by the at least one source. The at least one source and the at least one sensor are disposed such that an object located in a region to be monitored is detected. A control unit is provided for controlling the medical system, so that the medical system is switched into a safe operating state or interrupted if the detected object is unexpected or unwanted in the monitored region.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus are provided for adjusting a scanning region of a computed tomography (CT) scanner. At least one edge point of a set-point scanning region on a patient examination table associated with the CT scanner is indicated by hand signals of a user. Via a distance sensor, mounted at a reference point of the patient examination table, a distance from the at least of edge point to the reference point is measured. From the measured distance, the position of the at least one edge point relative to the patient examination table is determined, and a corresponding edge of a CT scanning region of the CT scanner is conformed to the derived position.
