Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for operating an imaging system by remote control. SOLUTION: The method comprises a step (420) for moving a trackball (310) of a hand-held trackball device (300), a step (440) for transmitting a command based on the movement of the trackball (310) to the imaging system, and a step (450) for setting the imaging system or adjusting the function based on the command. The hand-held trackball device (300) comprises the trackball (310) for controlling the imaging system based on the movement of the trackball (310), a transmitter for transmitting the command to the imaging system based on the movement of the trackball (310), and a housing (330) for holding the trackball (310) and the transmitter.
