Abstract
The invention relates to a device (10) for imaging of an object (30), an X imaging system (1) for imaging of an object (30), a method for imaging of an object (30), a computer program element for controlling such device or system for performing such method and a computer readable medium having stored such computer program element. The device (10) comprises a provision unit (11) and a processing unit (12). The provision unit (11) is configured to provide position and orientation data of an object (30) to be imaged and to provide position and orientation data of an imaging unit (20) relative to a region of the object (30) and adjusted for a subsequent imaging of the region. The processing unit (12) is configured to combine the position and orientation data of the object (30) and the position and orientation data of the imaging unit (20) to determine the region to be subsequently imaged and to set at least one imaging parameter of the imaging unit (20) based on the determined region to be subsequently imaged.
