Abstract

A method is provided for the automatic determination of at least one joint load information item concerning a joint of a patient, wherein at least one image data set of the loaded joint is recorded by an imaging apparatus. Several image data sets of the joint, of which at least one is three-dimensional, are recorded in each case for different loading states by the imaging apparatus. By combined evaluation of the image data sets, the at least one joint load information item is determined.
