Claims18
A medical image diagnosis apparatus, comprising:
- at least one medical X-ray imaging device configured to perform medical X-ray imaging and to generate a medical image;
- a display, comprising a plurality of monitors, configured to display the medical image;
- and
- a mechanism configured to change, based on movement of one of the at least one medical X-ray imaging device away from a patient bed to a predetermined position, as detected by at least one sensor of the medical image diagnosis apparatus, a physical arrangement of the plurality of monitors with respect to each of the monitors so that a first monitor is positioned to superpose a second monitor, thereby rendering the second monitor at least partially unviewable from any viewing angle.
A display apparatus for a use in a medical image diagnosis apparatus that generates a medical image, comprising:
- a plurality of monitors configured to display the medical image, and
- a mechanism configured to change, based on movement of one of a plurality of medical X-ray imaging devices away from a patient bed to a predetermined position, as detected by at least one sensor of the medical image diagnosis apparatus, a physical arrangement of the plurality of monitors with respect to each of the monitors so that a first monitor is positioned to superpose a second monitor, thereby rendering the second monitor at least partially unviewable from any viewing angle.
A method of arranging a plurality of monitors which display a medical image in a medical image diagnosis apparatus, comprising:
- detecting movement of one of a plurality of medical X-ray imaging devices away from a patient bed to a predetermined position, using at least one sensor of the medical image diagnosis apparatus;
- and
- automatically placing a first monitor, based on the detected movement of the one of the medical imaging devices, behind a second monitor, thereby rendering the first monitor at least partially unviewable from any viewing angle.
