Abstract

A method and computing unit are for automatically checking a superposition image of a body region of interest of an examination object. The method and computing unit include determining at least one reference position of an object in a reference image; determining a current position of the object; generating the superposition image by superimposing the current fluoroscopic image and the reference image; determining at least one parameter characterizing a measure of discrepancy; and displaying the measure of discrepancy determined. Further, in at least one embodiment, the various aspects of the method or performed by at least one processor of the computing unit, are performed in quasi real time.
