Abstract
A medical therapy and/or diagnosis equipment has a position sensing device that cooperates, for sensing of respective position or orientation of the medical therapy and/or diagnosis equipment, with a further sensing device that is separated by a signal path from the position sensing device and is fixed in position and orientation. The position sensing device is constructed as a position sensing arm that extends away from the medical therapy and/or diagnosis equipment.
