MEANS FOR CREATING AN AMBIENT EXPERIENCE

摘要

The invention relates to a system and a method for creating an ambient experience for a person, particularly for a patient to be examined in a medical imaging device having a bore into which a patient table can be moved. In a preferred embodiment, the system comprises a display (30) for displaying an image content such as a video for the relaxation of a patient, and an illumination device (40) for illuminating the surroundings with polarized light. Moreover, it comprises a viewing aid, particularly a pair of glasses (20), that is designed to at least partially block light from the illumination device (40) while letting light from the display (30) pass. The viewing aid (20) may for example comprise a polarization filter (23) that lets linearly polarized light (4) from the display (30) pass while blocking light from the illumination device (40) that is polarized in a perpendicular direction. A patient on the patient table can thus view the display (30) without being disturbed by an illumination of the surroundings.

主权项

1. A medical imaging system, particularly a CT or MRI apparatus, comprising:
a) a patient table on which a patient can be disposed; b) a scanning device with a bore into which the patient table can be moved; c) a system for creating an ambient experience for a patient on the patient table, said system comprising:
a display for displaying an image content;an illumination device for illuminating the surroundings of the patient with polarized light;a viewing aid for directing light from the display to the eyes of the patient, wherein said viewing aid is designed to interact optically differently with light (λI) from the illumination device than with light (λD) from the display based on the fact that illumination light (λI) has another polarization than light from the displayed image content.
