Clinical ambient control system

摘要

The invention relates to a system (100) for automating adjustment or adaptation of devices (141-143) such as light, computer programs and positioning of devices used during patient examination. The patient examination is performed by use of a scanner system where the patient is lying on a bed (102) which can be moved into a scanner zone of the scanner where the scanning can be performed and away from the scanner zone. The automated control is achieved by detecting the position of the bed and using the detected position for adjusting or adapting the state, i.e. the function or working of one or more devices (141-143).

1. An ambient control system for use with a bed of a patient scanner, where the bed is moveable relative to the scanner, and where the system comprises:
a sensor configured to detect a position of the bed and configured to generate a sensor signal indicative of the position of the bed, a controller programmed to control a position of a position actuator in dependence of the sensor signal by generation of a control signal from the sensor signal for causing a change of the position of the position actuator from a first position to a second position; wherein the controller is programmed to generate a first value of the control signal for causing a first change of the position of the position actuator and a second value of the control signal for causing a second change of the position of the position actuator.
