Abstract

Collision-free movement of a mobile medical device, such as a mobile medical imaging device, in a room is controlled via a man-machine interface. A model of the room environment is created and displayed, together an actual position of the medical device. The room model and the actual position are based at least in part on real-time sensor data. A destination position for the medical device is entered, the entered destination position is displayed and a collision-free movement path is generated from the actual position to the destination position. The movement path is displayed in the room model. A movement command relating to the displayed movement path is entered and the medical device is driven along the entered movement path from the actual position to the destination position.
