Automatic control system for radiation device used in medical diagnosis, determines true gazing direction of operator of medical device, relative to monitor and accordingly controls activation of pedal

摘要

An eye tracking system determines the true gazing direction of operator of medical device relative to a monitor, while passing radiations through the body of the patient (4). An evaluation device evaluates the determined gazing direction of the operator (10). The activation or deactivation of a pedal or switch (3) is controlled automatically corresponding to the evaluation device output. An independent claim is included for the method of automatic control radiation source.
