The image data is used to detect the medical object automatically by an image processing algorithm and track the position thereof in a time-resolved manner. Furthermore, it is furthermore indicated when, or that, the detected medical object has reached the target position. A plurality of the detected positions of the medical object and associated detection times are stored in a database.
