ABSTRACT:
In a medical diagnostic apparatus, certain functions of the diagnostic apparatus can only be implemented by persons authorized for the operation thereof. To this end, a detector is provided for acquiring a physical feature, for example a fingerprint of the operator, and execution of a function selected by the operator is enabled only when a match with a stored physical feature is found. Among other functions, this allows the brake for the support plate to be released only by the operator and not by the patient.
