Method for reducing operating costs of a CT system and CT system as well as medical imaging system

摘要

The invention relates to a method for reducing the operating costs of a CT system (C1), with several different system components, comprising at least the steps: detecting whether a patient (C7) is mounted on a couch (C8) of the CT system (C1) or not (S1), and sending a signal to the CT system (C1) to activate or deactivate a component of the CT system (C1) (S3.1, S3.2). The invention further relates to a CT system (C1) for computer tomographic examination of a patient (C8), at least comprising several components which can be switched on and off, wherein at least one detection device is provided, which detects whether the patient (C7) is lying on a couch (C8 ) of the CT system (C1) or not, and at least one transmitter which emits a signal for activating or deactivating a component of the CT system (C1). In addition, the invention relates to a control and processing unit (C10) of a CT system (C1) and a medical examination system.
