Abstract

The disclosure relates to an X-ray machine and a method for the operation of the X-ray machine for generation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of a body part. The method includes supplying a first X-ray capture of the body part; an automatic analysis of the first X-ray capture; an evaluation of the suitability of at least one further capture angle by the computing unit in the light of a result from the automatic analysis; setting of a second capture angle on the X-ray machine, either automatically by the computing unit or manually by an operator; a manually controlled approach to the set second capture angle by a capture unit of the X-ray machine; and capture of the second X-ray capture from the approached second capture angle by the capture unit to provide an improved method for operation of an X-ray machine for generation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of a body part.
