Estimating the term…
A medical diagnostics installation comprises components for portraying an examination region on a monitor and includes an operating unit which is spatially spaced from the monitor and has a control unit, either a sensor field, a joystick or a key field, for acting on a data processor for controlling the components. The data processor includes a data store that contains data corresponding to different operating menus, and these menus are capable of being called in via the operating unit and are displayed on the monitor. At least one operating condition of the medical diagnostics installation can be produced by the operating unit and the operating menus correspond to the operating conditions being displayed on the monitor are only the operating functions required for this operating condition. The operating functions are controllable via a mark or cursor which is controlled by either the sensor field, joystick or key field.
A medical diagnostics installation comprising a monitor, components for portraying an examination region on the monitor, a data processor for controlling the components including a data store for containing data corresponding to different operating menus, an operating unit spatially separated from the monitor and having a sensor field, said operating unit having means for causing the data processor to display specific operating menus corresponding to an operating condition on said monitor, said operating menus displaying only operating functions required for a specific operating condition, and said monitor having a mark controllable by the sensor field for controlling specific operating functions on said monitor.
A medical diagnostics installation comprising a monitor, components for portraying an examination region on the monitor, a data processor for controlling the components including a data store for containing data corresponding to different operating menus, an operating unit spatially separated from the monitor and having a sensor field, said operating unit having means for causing the data processor to display specific operating menus corresponding to an operating condition on said monitor, said operating menus displaying only operating functions required for a specific operating condition, and a mark controllable by the sensor field for controlling specific operating functions on said display, the operating menu corresponding to a preselected operating condition being called up by touching the sensor field wherein the mark is controllable by locally varying touching of the sensor field and the operating function being controllable by increasing the touching pressure as soon as the mark and operating function are in coincidence with one another.
A medical diagnostics installation comprising a monitor for portraying an examination region, components for portraying the examination region on said monitor, a system controller for controlling the components, an operating unit acting on the system controller, said system controller including a data store that contains data corresponding to different operating menus which can be called up via the operating unit and can be displayed on a separate display means adjacent to the monitor, a mark generator means allocated to the system controller for generating a controllable mark on the display means and controllable by the operating unit, at least one operating condition of the medical diagnostics installation being produced via the operating unit, an operating menu corresponding to the operating condition being displayed on the display means, said operating menu displaying only the operating functions required for this specific operating condition and the operating functions being controllable via the controllable mark.
