Description

Medical imaging device and method for operating a medical imaging device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a medical imaging device and a method for operating a medical imaging device.
Background
The user interface for operating the medical imaging device can be designed as a human-machine interface (HMI) and has various interaction elements, for example in the form of operating elements and/or display elements.
For example, the human-machine interface of the medical imaging device (in particular of a computed tomography device) can be integrated into its outer envelope. To this end, an operating element and/or a display element, via which a user can activate or visually perceive a respective function of the medical imaging device, is located in a specific region of the cover. Ergonomics plays an important role in the design of such interactive elements. However, the use population typically extends to multiple people with significant physiological differences. This can lead to difficulties if the position of the fixedly positioned element is not suitable for the user.
Furthermore, the HMI of the equipment in the medical field must be able to meet high hygiene standards. If the cleaner does not recognize all contaminants, undesirable contamination at the medical imaging device encasement can result, and ultimately, infection. By means of the operating and display elements which are visually highlighted relative to the adjoining regions so as to be better recognizable to the user, a surface image of the covering is produced which consists of a plurality of different colors, contrasts and shapes. The use of such surface images for complying with the required hygiene standards results in increased expenditure for the visual inspection of contaminants.
WO 2004/066067 A2 discloses an interface system comprising a visual display comprising at least one first surface, a light-emitting layer formed on the first surface and a pressure sensitive layer formed on the first surface.
CA 2877652 A1 discloses a method for manufacturing multiple vitrification units with variable diffusion through liquid crystals.

One embodiment provides that the covering has a planar area, wherein the first user interface adjoins the planar area, wherein the planar area can be viewed from the surroundings in the first operating state, wherein the planar area is optically shielded from the surroundings by means of the layer system in the second operating state.

For example, the overmold may have an overmold substrate. For example, the cover substrate can have a receiving region for receiving the layer system. The receiving region, into which the layer system can be joined, can have, for example, at least one recess. The receiving region can have, for example, at least one connecting region to which the layer system, in particular the planar region and/or the cover layer, can be connected, in particular can be connected in a form-fitting and/or material-fitting manner.
One embodiment provides that the layer system forms a second user interface for operating the medical imaging device, wherein the second user interface is deactivated in the first operating state and/or is optically shielded from the surroundings by means of the layer system, wherein the second user interface is activated in the second operating state and can be viewed from the surroundings.
It may furthermore be provided that the layer system has a second switchable layer, wherein the second switchable layer is arranged between the second user interface and the surroundings, wherein the second switchable layer is optically transparent in a second operating state, wherein the second switchable layer is opaque, in particular opaque, in the first operating state such that the second user interface is optically shielded from the surroundings, in particular in such a way that the second user interface is not viewable from the surroundings, by means of the second switchable layer.
In particular, it can be provided that the second user interface adjoins the flat area and/or that the flat area is located between the first user interface and the second user interface.

In particular, it may be provided that a graphical user interface for operating the medical imaging device is displayed by means of the first user interface in the first operating state and/or by means of the second user interface in the second operating state. Thereby, the orientation of the graphical user interface for operating the medical imaging device relative to the cover may be matched to the needs of the user and/or the needs of the examination. For example, redundant display of the graphical user interface at a fixedly positioned orientation may be avoided.
An embodiment provides that the second user interface adjoins the first user interface, in particular seamlessly adjoins the first user interface, wherein the layer system can be switched into a third operating state in which the first user interface and the second user interface are activated and can be viewed from the surroundings.
In particular, it may be provided that, in the third operating state, a graphical user interface for operating the medical imaging device is displayed by means of the first user interface and the second user interface, in particular in such a way that an operating element of the graphical user interface extends beyond a boundary region between the first user interface and the second user interface. Thereby, the shape of the graphical user interface for operating the medical imaging device relative to the cover may be adapted to the needs of the user and/or the needs of the examination.
It may furthermore be provided that the layer system can be switched into a fourth operating state in which the first user interface and the second user interface are deactivated and/or that the first user interface and the second user interface are optically shielded from the surroundings by means of the layer system, in particular in such a way that the first user interface and the second user interface are not visible from the surroundings.

The operability can thus be flexibly adapted in particular to the physiological conditions specific to the user, so that an improvement in the ergonomics of the operator is obtained. Thereby, the risk of erroneous operation of the medical imaging device due to lack of ergonomics may be minimized. Furthermore, through improved ergonomics, the workflow can be designed efficiently. Furthermore, the visual appearance of the cover can be changed on the basis of the optical shielding of the user interface, which is for example combined into a large operating and/or display surface, in particular with regard to the orientation and/or shape of the activated operating and/or display elements. This can also be used to implement new design concepts.
The layer system may for example have a free form display, which may be manufactured from a single panel and/or from a combination of a plurality of small displays.
