Abstract
A method for controlling an X-ray device, wherein the X-ray device includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, and two light guide facilities arranged spaced apart from each other. The light guide facilities are configured to emit light fans that are rotatably mounted around the rotation axes. The method comprises receiving planning information for a planned path, positioning the arrangement, and moving the light fans based on the planning information and the current positioning so that the light fans illuminate the planned path.

A method for controlling an X-ray device, wherein the X-ray device comprises an X-ray source and an X-ray detector opposite each other and two light guide facilities arranged spaced apart from each other, that are arranged in a first defined arrangement;
- wherein the first defined arrangement is movably mounted, wherein a first light guide facility of the two light guide facilities is configured to emit a first light fan and a second light guide facility of the two light guide facilities is configured to emit a second light fan, wherein the first light fan and the second light fan are at least rotatable around one rotation axis in each instance, wherein the rotation axis of the first light fan intersects the rotation axis of the second light fan and a detector surface of the X-ray detector, the method comprising:
- receiving planning information for a planned path for arranging a medical object;
- emitting the first light fan by the first light guide facility;
- emitting the second light fan by the second light guide facility;
- positioning the first defined arrangement in such a way that the rotation axis of the first light fan intersects the planned path;
- and
- moving the first light fan and/or the second light fan in such a way, based on the planning information and a current positioning of the first defined arrangement, that the first light fan and the second light fan illuminate the planned path;
- wherein moving the first light fan and/or the second light fan comprises at least one rotation of the first light fan and/or the second light fan around the respective rotation axis.
An X-ray device comprising:
- an X-ray source;
- an X-ray detector opposite the X-ray source;
- and
- a first light guide facility and a second light guide facility arranged spaced apart from each other, wherein the first light guide facility is configured to emit a first light fan and the second light guide facility is configured to emit a second light fan, wherein the first light fan and the second light fan are at least rotatable around one rotation axis in each instance, wherein the rotation axis of the first light fan intersects a detector surface of the X-ray detector and the rotation axis of the second light fan in an operating state of the X-ray device;
- wherein the X-ray source, the X-ray detector, and the first light guide facility and second light guide facility are arranged in a first defined arrangement that is movably mounted;
- wherein the X-ray device is configured to:
- receive planning information for a planned path for arranging a medical object;
- emit the first light fan by the first light guide facility;
- emit the second light fan by the second light guide facility;
- position the first defined arrangement in such a way that the rotation axis of the first light fan intersects the planned path;
- and
- move the first light fan and/or the second light fan in such a way, based on the planning information and a current positioning of the first defined arrangement, that the first light fan and the second light fan illuminate the planned path, wherein moving the first light fan and/or the second light fan comprises at least one rotation of the first light fan and/or the second light fan around the respective rotation axis.
A non-transitory computer implemented storage medium, including machine-readable instructions stored therein, the machine-readable instructions when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to:
- receive planning information for a planned path for arranging a medical object;
- emit a first light fan by a first light guide facility;
- emit a second light fan by a second light guide facility;
- position a first defined arrangement of the first light guide facility and the second light guide facility in such a way that a rotation axis of the first light fan intersects the planned path;
- and
- move the first light fan and/or the second light fan in such a way, based on the planning information and a current positioning of the first defined arrangement, that the first light fan and the second light fan illuminate the planned path, wherein moving the first light fan and/or the second light fan comprises at least one rotation of the first light fan and/or the second light fan around a respective rotation axis.
