Multifunctional interface for medical imaging

摘要

A multifunctional interface for medical imaging has a lower limb operable multifunctional interface which includes at least one activation element, such as a foot switch pedal, a timing unit, and a control unit. The activation element is configured to provide an activation signal to the control unit when being activated. Further, the timing unit is configured to provide a timing signal to the control unit upon being provided with the activation signal from the activated activation element. The control unit is configured to provide at least two different control signals for triggering at least two different predetermined actions. Further, the control signal is dependent on a duration of the timing signal.
