1. A medical technology facility comprising:
at least one functional component;
a carrier arrangement configured to position the functional component in a space, wherein the carrier arrangement comprises at least two carrier components configured to be moved relative to one another;
at least one additional component positioned and/or formed differently in different positions of the carrier arrangement; and
a control facility configured to form a collision protection system, wherein the control facility comprises:
a modelling unit configured to update a digital movement model of the medical technology facility, wherein the digital movement model maps the at least two carrier components and the at least one functional component with a movability of the at least two carrier components and the at least one functional component based on position data that indicates prevailing positions of the at least two carrier components;
a detection unit configured to evaluate the digital movement model so as to detect possibly impending collisions with at least one subject and/or object that is located in a movement region and mapped in the digital movement model; and
an intervention unit configured to implement at least one collision protection measure when a possibly impending collision is detected,
wherein the digital movement model also maps a movement of the at least one additional component,
wherein the modelling unit is configured to determine additional data that describes a prevailing pose and/or a shape of the at least one additional component from a relationship of at least one part of the position data with the additional data, and
wherein the relationship is stored in the control facility.
