Abstract
A storage apparatus for dynamically storing and for recalling a position of an imaging biomedical engineering device has an interface to a position establishment apparatus of the imaging biomedical engineering device. A display unit has a display field with a user interface having a selectable number of virtual storage buttons that are actuatable by a pointer object. If an unoccupied virtual storage button which does not yet have a medical device position assigned thereto is actuated, the storage button is assigned a current medical device position. If an occupied virtual storage button which already has a medical device position assigned thereto is actuated, the stored medical device position is selected and visualized on the display field. A biomedical engineering imaging system as well as a method for dynamically storing and for recalling medical device positions and a program product are described.
