Abstract

An imaging system for displaying image information that has been acquired by a medical diagnostic imaging device, has at least one projection surface, to which a projection device is allocated for purposes of reproducing image information on the projection surface. For controlling the reproduction of the image information, an optical detector detects gestures of an operator, and a control unit evaluates the output data of the detector for controlling the reproduction of the image information.
