Abstract
An operating device for influencing medical image information items displayed at a display surface with a movable operating element has a motion acquisition system for quantitatively determining adjustment motions of the operating element, with the representation of the image information items displayed at the display surface being influenced solely by motions of the operating element.
Claims17
An operating device for use with a source of three-dimensional image information representing a medical image of a three-dimensional subject, for influencing display of said three-dimensional image displayed at a display surface, comprising:
- a freely movable operating element, physically independent of said source, movable through arbitrary adjustment motions;
- an adjustment motion acquisition system for quantitatively identifying said adjustment motions of said operating element;
- and
- a display surface on which said three-dimensional image information is displayed with a three-dimensional visual appearance at said display surface, said display surface being physically separate from said operating element and being connected to said adjustment motion acquisition system, and said three-dimensional visual appearance of said image information displayed on said display surface being alterable solely by said adjustment motions of said operating element identified by said adjustment motion acquisition system.
