Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring recording of measurement data of a person being examined and is positioned on a couch in medical diagnostic equipment, comprising: recording the measurement data to create image data; detecting the pressure characteristic exerted on the couch by the person being examined; automatically analyzing the pressure characteristic by comparing the detected characteristic with a predetermined pressure characteristic; determining a movement of the person along the couch based on the comparing of the detected pressure characteristic with the predetermined pressure characteristic, said comparing including distinguishing the pressure characteristic associated with the movement of the person along the couch from a pressure characteristic associated with a breathing of the person on the couch; informing an operator of the medical diagnostic equipment if the analyzed pressure characteristic does not match the predetermined pressure characteristic; wherein the pressure characteristic is detected using a pressure pad arranged at least partially between the person being examined and the couch; wherein the pressure characteristic is detected by at least one pressure sensor in the couch; and wherein the predetermined pressure characteristic is determined by analyzing an immediately previously detected pressure characteristic.
